Trusting a Warrior — Melanie Hansen

Heartbroken after her fiancé falls in love with another woman, Lani Abuel seeks comfort in the arms of a stranger, only to find herself alone…and pregnant. Fiercely determined to be a good mother, she'll do whatever it takes, which means finally facing the trauma in her past. The last thing she needs is a warrior with wounds all too similar to her own finding his way into her heart.

George Monteverdi always had one goal -- become a navy SEAL. Now both a SEAL and a K-9 handler, saving lives is his priority. Although he's experienced the unspeakable, he handles it. SEALs are built tough -- until they're not. Lani understands him, and in her quiet strength, he finds a soft place to land.

As their worlds entwine, Lani and Geo find the redemption they've been seeking. But despite the sanctuary they've discovered with one another, a relationship seems impossible. A SEAL who spends most of his time deployed is far from what Lani -- or her baby -- needs, and Geo can't imagine a future doing anything else.

Publisher's Note: Trusting a Warrior deals with topics some readers may find difficult, including the suicide of a secondary character, as well as descriptions of grief therapy and a suicide survivors' support group.
