The Wrong Hero — Nancy Brophy

What if everything you knew about your marriage and your husband was wrong? And what if that knowledge put your life in danger? And what if the man sent to rescue you was a hunky alpha male who only had one flaw? He thought he was the one in charge.

By the time Abigail Brooks discovered her husband was an international assassin, she was already up to her neck in trouble. Her tenant's boss had been murdered and her duplex had been burglarized. Travis Stevens, the sexy, overbearing former SEAL turned security specialist rides to the rescue, expecting everyone to follow his lead. Instead Abby sees him as just one more man she can't afford to trust - a bruise to his alpha male ego.

While Travis has been trained to see what others miss, his encounter with the mystery writer is as far from the script as one can get. He is intrigued. Forced to work as a dysfunctional team they first have to figure out who is truly the villain and which version of her husband is the truth.

Unlike her novels, Abby discovers that even the most self-assured heroine occasionally must accept a helping hand. And a plan of action never prevents fate from smacking a person on the head. Life is truly what happens when we're making other plans.
