In Glory, Kansas, a fairy-tale wedding has local tongues wagging. But through this false engagement, can a wounded warrior and the woman hes protecting find true love? Byron Hawkins doesnt 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 sight—as his newlywed wife. Back in Byrons hometown of Glory, Kansas, petite, fierce Damara keeps surprising him; she may be royalty, but shes 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, hes finding that its way too easy to play the part, and after the hell he has seen, that terrifies him. Byron didnt want another life to save, but the passionate beauty hes sworn to protect might just turn the tables and save him instead.
