Heart of the Texas Warrior — Eve Gaddy

A match made in heaven…

When strong, independent cowgirl Jessie McBride meets former Green Beret Asher Chapman while doing PT for her broken leg, the two share an instant bond. Jessie rescues and raises mustangs, while Asher established and runs a foundation that matches veterans with shelter animals. The immediate, fiery physical connection between them is even stronger.

A conflict born in hell

Unlike the girlfriend who left him after discovering the full extent of his injuries, Asher knows Jessie can handle his physical wounds. But he doesn't believe any woman could handle the secret he can't even face himself. Much as he wants her…and is becoming convinced he loves her, he can't risk disclosing what haunts him.

Jessie can't understand why Asher emotionally pulls her close only to push her away again. Can this wounded warrior learn to trust Jessie to love all of him before he drives her away for good?
