In this âheartfelt tale of serious love,â a military man on a mission must pretend to be engaged to the princess under his protection (Booklist).
In Glory, Kansas, a fairy-tale wedding has local tongues wagging. But through this false engagement, can a wounded warrior and the woman heâs protecting find true love?
Byron Hawkins doesnât want to be responsible for anyone ever again. The former Black Ops soldier is better at taking lives than saving them. But on a mission in Tunisia to deliver a package to safety, Byron is dismayed to find that the precious cargo is actually a hostage rescue, and that his orders are to take Damara Petrakis back to US soil and hide her in plain sightâas his newlywed wife.
Back in Byronâs hometown of Glory, Kansas, petite, fierce Damara keeps surprising him; she may be royalty, but sheâs fully trained in martial arts and will sacrifice anything for her country. As the town rallies around the returning hero and his bride-to-be, heâs finding that itâs way too easy to play the part, and after the hell he has seen, that terrifies him. Byron didnât want another life to save, but the passionate beauty heâs sworn to protect might just turn the tables and save him instead.
