Hometown Hero

Rediscover this uplifting springtime romance from New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery. Previously published as Shelter in a Soldier’s Arms.

Single mum Ashley Churchill has always been able to provide for her daughter’s basic needs, and she has done it by working hard and keeping her guard up. But after she finds herself in a vulnerable position, an offer of shelter and protection from her stony and taciturn boss is a kindness Ashley can’t let pass. And soon a temporary shelter starts to feel like home.

Jeff’s army career and his job as a security specialist have made him feel undeserving of love. But Ashley’s strength, her daughter’s sweetness and their presence in his life might be all it takes to tear down the barricade he has built around his heart.
