More Than a Hero (Baytown Heroes #12)

He’s dedicated to protecting his county. She’s devoted to caring for its most vulnerable. When danger strikes close to home, their worlds collide in ways neither saw coming.

Pete Bolton doesn’t say much—he lets his work as a drug task force detective do the talking. But behind his quiet strength is a man burdened by the toll of stopping the influx of drugs and gangs in their county.

Angie Brown has a heart for the forgotten. As the director of aging services in the rural Eastern Shore, she’s used to juggling broken systems, budget cuts, and the quiet dignity of the people she serves.

As Pete and Angie navigate a growing web of danger that threatens to snare the youth he works with and the elderly she protects, they’ll have to confront more than just the darkness closing in.

Sometimes, the hardest battles aren’t the ones fought with guns or badges… but those waged in the heart.

Gripping, heartfelt, and steeped in the soul of small-town America, More Than a Hero is a romantic suspense that proves love can take root even in the shadow of danger.
