This is the first title in the miniseries "Heart of a Hero". All of the titles in this series will have military veterans as hero and/or heroine. The stories are inspired by the writer's work as a therapist at a Veterans Administration facility. With these books I hope to honor the sacrifices of our military members and the stories they have to tell. Please leave me your comments. I am a beginner at writing romances, and feedback from the community would be very valuable. I look forward to hearing from you!

(NOTICE: This book is being published on Amazon very soon and the full version will no longer be available on Wattpad.) When Maria Mast's ex-boyfriend is arrested for trying to kill her and for being involved in human trafficking, she thinks she's finally safe. That she can finally stop running. But the danger has only begun, because someone from the sex trafficking ring wants her dead, thinking she has information on them told to her by her ex. Agent Derek Turner from Covert Police Detectives Unit in Portland, Maine, is assigned to be her bodyguard. He goes home with her and her son to the Amish community where she was raised in Unity, Maine. Putting away her stalker is the most important thing to him, since that very same sex trafficking ring killed his wife for revenge two years ago. Though he is captivated by Maria's long hair, shyness and secretive dark eyes, he vows not to let things become personal. But when he shields her body with his own as bullets zip past them, watches her tenderly care for her young son, and learns more about her horrific past, his resolve to not fall in love with her crumbles through his fingers like farm soil.
