Unexpected Hero — Barbara Ankrum

Can exposing their secrets give them both a second chance?

Ex-Navy SEAL Noah Mathis has buried his secrets from even his most trusted friends. But when he joins a gathering of the Band of Brothers in Marietta, Montana, for the wedding of one of their own, his encounter with the beautiful Gemma Wade has him suddenly questioning all the choices he's made.

Bruised by love and on the brink of losing her job as a journalist, Gemma can't afford distractions or -- even more risky -- romantic entanglements. She's in Marietta on assignment, but she can't seem to get her mind off the handsome ex-SEAL who wants her to be his plus-one for the long weekend. But when she innocently begins to dig around in Noah's past, she uncovers the last thing he wants her to know.

And nothing for either of them will ever be the same.
