I've always been my own best company...until I meet a ray of sunshine who makes me question my solitude.
If only she hadn't been wandering through the woods alone.
If only she hadn't lost her footing while trying to cross the creek.
If only she hadn't gotten knocked unconscious.
I could have minded my own business and let this woman wander past without even noticing. Instead, I'm carrying her limp body to my cabin.
But now that she's warm, dry, and unable to tell me her name, I can't just send her on her way, especially not during the raging storm that's flooding roads and washing out bridges.
I also can't bear the thought of letting her go, which is ridiculous since I don't know a thing about her.
Is it worth risking my heart when the passing of the storm will carry her out of my life as quickly as I carried her in? It's been a long time since I trusted my heart.
The Heart of the Wounded Hero series was created to pay tribute to and raise awareness of our wounded heroes. Each of the over eighty authors involved has contributed time, money, and stories to the cause. These love stories are inspiring and uplifting, showing the sacrifice of our veterans but also giving them the happily ever after they deserve.
By increasing awareness through our books, we believe we can in a small part help the wounded heroes that have sacrificed so much. Thank you for reading.
