First To Fight

Ever since the disastrous convoy mission that left most of his squad dead, US Marine Ayden Delaney's life has been in shambles. He's fled to the other side of the world to get away from the pain of the losses of his USMC brothers. He's quickly learning, though, that no matter where he runs, the nightmares follow.

When his older brother contacts him from back home, Ayden has to make a choice: stay in Thailand, or drag himself back to California and stand beside his brother on his wedding day—and decide if he still has a future with the Corps. A chance at a real life.

And, after meeting Carmen, a beautiful and kind-hearted woman when he visits the UCLA campus to see if he can finish his degree, maybe even...love.

He's always been the first one to fight—for his friends, for his country. Now it's time to fight for the one person who matters most right now.

Himself.

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.
