Once a Hero — Anne McAllister

Lesley wasn't prepared for Matt's return

Once she'd worn her heart on her sleeve for Matt Colter. Not now.

Of course she was horrified at his kidnapping while on a Middle East assignment and glad of his release--but their marriage had gone on hold so many times while Matt flew off to trouble spots, it had never really had a chance.

She'd built a satisfying new life in the years they'd been apart, with a promising new relationship. So when Matt answered, "Forever!" to her question of how long he was staying, Lesley was furious.

Hero: Matt Colter
Heroine: Lesley Colter
