About this ebook

When you give your heart to a soldier, every moment is precious. While life is blossoming at home, death awaits abroad and a hero’s work is never done.

Wolf and his fellow SEAL team members have saved many lives, and been in even more harrowing situations, but their latest mission might prove the most difficult of all. Charged with rescuing American soldier, Sergeant Penelope Turner, from the clutches of ISIS, the men infiltrate the refugee camp where she’s believed to be held. The conditions are horrific, the search nearly impossible, but Penelope herself could prove the key to their success…if the SEALs can interpret her clues. 

An unforgiving desert, perilous mountain terrain, a rising body count and insurgents on the hunt…all of this and more stands between the SEALs completing their mission and returning home to their women, left to bravely deal with fears of their own stateside. 

Sometimes a mission is more than one team can handle. With a little help from newfound friends, the SEALS won’t stop until they’ve won the day. Failure is not an option. 

** Protecting the Future is the 8th book in the Seal of Protection Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Ratings and reviews

The 8th and final book of the Protecting series and I'm amazed by the story even further. The writing was like you were there with them. I cried and laughed through the whole story as I read of Penelope's trials, the men's mission to rescue her, and the women's trials on the home/family front! Penelope's strength reminds me a lot of Caroline in how she handles herself and the situation she finds herself in. Mrs Stoker doesn't disappoint in her ability to tell 8 different story's views in 1 perfect tale. I loved how everyone had a voice in the story, it wasn't about 1 couple, it was about the whole family! I'm sorry to see the series end, but I know that it won't be the last we'll see of everyone. And the ending, oh my, the last scene of the book had me literally with tears streaming down my face. I can't say enough how much I really loved this book and it was worth the wait. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review, and I've pre-ordered it for my collection!

Like all of Susan Stokers books, I thoroughly enjoyed this one too. The only issue I had with this book, is that the end is here. They will undoubtedly show up here and there from here on out, but this series is done. Sigh... Wow, Storyline is fabulous! Setting the scene for the Delta series coming up was GREAT!! Stella Bloom is a good narrator. She has inflections and isn't monotone!! That is important for me. As I read the actual book and turn pages of a GREAT book, I can see the "movie" play out in my mind. This also happens when Stella reads these books!

Blown Away!! I feel like that a lot when it comes to this series. Everytime I finished a book in this series I was blown away but this particular story is book hangover material! This story is the PERFECT ending to an awesome series. It has all the elements of the rest of the stories in this series but it brings everything full circle. It gives you a very satisfied feeling that life for the SEALs will continue to be exciting and filled with love in the future.

About the author

 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Susan Stoker has a heart as big as the state of Tennessee where she lives, but this all American girl has also spent the last fourteen years living in Missouri, California, Colorado, Indiana, and Tennessee. She's married to a retired military Army man (and current firefighter/EMT) who now gets to follow her around the country.

She debuted her first series in 2014 and quickly followed that up with the SEAL of Protection, Badge of Honor, Delta Force Heroes and Ace Security Series, which solidified her love of writing and creating stories readers can get lost in.
