WHEN THE DECORATED HERO RETURNS HOME SCARRED, NOBODY KNOWS HIM,
BUT HIS DREAM OF A SECOND CHANCE FOR LOVE WON’T DIE

All of our lives were torn apart on prom night, but he was the only one of us who went so far away. Now he's back from a fateful tour of duty, and he thinks I can't recognize him.
More than the marks that make him keep his face covered and hidden, I see the deeper wounds he carries on the inside. But should I keep his dark secrets, even when I can't be sure of the truth behind them? Even if he might cut open the scars that are still raw on my own heart?
If I can reach him past all his defenses, can I help him to heal?
And if I take the risk, what will I find under the mask?

The Heart of the Wounded Hero series was created to pay tribute to and raise awareness of our wounded heroes. Each of the over eighty authors involved have contributed time, money, and stories to the cause. These love stories are inspiring and uplifting, showing the sacrifice of our veterans but also giving them the happily ever after they deserve.

By increasing awareness through our books, we believe we can in a small part help the wounded heroes that have sacrificed so much. Thank you for reading!
