The Hero

Some threats never stay buried.

And some loves never let go.

When violence strikes close to home, Navy SEAL Owen Loughman is forced to return to the one place-and the one woman-he never truly escaped.

Owen lives in the shadows, trained to survive anywhere in the world and eliminate threats without hesitation. Control is his weapon. Distance is his armor. But Natalie Dixon has always been the one weakness he couldn't erase-the girl he loved, the woman he left behind.

Natalie rebuilt her life after betrayal and loss, learning the hard way that love comes at a cost. She's stronger now. More guarded. And she has no intention of letting Owen back into her world-until danger makes him the only man she can trust.

Thrown together as an unseen enemy closes in, the pull between them reignites-raw, consuming, and impossible to deny. Every glance burns. Every touch tempts fate. And the closer the threat draws, the more Owen is willing to risk everything he's sworn to protect.

Because when Natalie's life is on the line, there is nothing he won't do to keep her safe-even if loving her destroys him.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant delivers a gripping romantic suspense filled with danger, devotion, and a love worth risking everything for in the first book of her Sons of Texas series.
