The Virgin and the Hero: A First Time Military Romance (Innocent #2)

"I didn't believe in love at first sight--didn't believe in anything, any more. But when I saw that girl for the first time I knew something was happening to me--love, a heart attack, or maybe God finally had pity on me for all the things that had gone wrong in my life and sent down an angel just to say hello, I don't know. But something was happening, something big...."

Jordan McCready survived two tours in Afghanistan before coming home to bury his parents and care for his sick brother. He works long hours in the mill, doesn't talk much, and likes it that way. His PTSD keeps him away from other people, but it also keeps him comfortable. He can't stand to be pitied and doesn't want anyone around him getting hurt.

Jessica has spent most of her life bouncing between homeless shelters and foster families, but you could never tell from her smile. She loves taking care of the animals in the By-Gone Shelter, and just got a job at the old diner on the edge of town. She's training during the graveyard shift when Jordan comes in and... Well, she's a little distracted by those blue eyes. Otherwise, maybe she would've been more careful when the next guy comes in.

The bad guy. The one with a gun.

The Virgin and the Hero is super safe smut full of over-the-top situations and insta-love galore. It is a bit mushier than the usual Kendall Duke story, but that's because these are good people that need real love--and sex. Lots, and lots, and lots of sex. Please enjoy this lovely story full of baby-making goodness with a big ole HEA for two people who've been through the worst and deserve the best.

Some violence in the beginning of the book--but remember: this is about a hero. Everything turns out just fine.
