Ruined By The Soldier
Laura Callum sold her innocence to a stranger to buy her freedom, but that one night of enlightening ecstasy turned into a weekend, then a nightmare when the man she’s been dreaming about for months may stand in the way of her ever breaking free.
Rayford Gaskill has spent his life on the outside, even among his team of Army Rangers, but he''s finally found a fragile peace in Ranger Valley. His place here is precarious, built on nothing but old debts and a tenuous bond with a man desperate for help. He’s fought for months for a sense of belonging—and he won’t let anything jeopardize it.
Laura has nowhere else to go. She fell through the cracks of a system too full of people needing help and not enough to go around. Her arrival in Ranger Valley to throw herself on the mercy of a promise made half a decade ago, is the last resort that won't have her breaking every promise she's ever made to herself.
As secrets they’re both hiding surface and new threats close in, the chemistry between Rafe and Laura becomes a battlefield and refuge at the same time. In a valley full of warriors, Rafe must decide if he’s brave enough to protect the woman he once "bought," or if his fears will leave them both with nowhere left to run.
If you crave the small-town atmosphere and unbridled passion of Elsie Silver and the fiercely independent heroines of Susan Stoker who bring me to their knees, you will fall in love with The Shattered Heroes Series.
