In Glory, Kansas, a fairy-tale wedding has local tongues wagging. But through this false engagement, can a wounded warrior and the woman he's protecting find true love?
Byron Hawkins doesn't want to be responsible for anyone ever again. The former Black Ops soldier is better at taking lives than saving them. But on a mission in Tunisia to deliver a package to safety, Byron is dismayed to find that the precious cargo is actually a hostage rescue, and that his orders are to take Damara Petrakis back to US soil and hide her in plain sight—as his newlywed wife.
Back in Byron's hometown of Glory, Kansas, petite, fierce Damara keeps surprising him; she may be royalty, but she's fully trained in martial arts and will sacrifice anything for her country. As the town rallies around the returning hero and his bride-to-be, he's finding that it's way too easy to play the part, and after the hell he has seen, that terrifies him. Byron didn't want another life to save, but the passionate beauty he's sworn to protect might just turn the tables and save him instead.

In the second installment of her Home to Glory series, Arden portrays black operative Byron Hawkins, who is sent to protect the Jewel of Catallegna. He discovers that the Jewel is Damara Petrakis, a royal princess who has become a hostage of her corrupt brother, who wants to marry her to a member of the Russian mob. Since their country is of strategic interest, the U.S. government has arranged to have Hawkins not only rescue Damara, but also marry her so that she becomes an American citizen. They even expect him to hold the wedding in his hometown of Glory, Kansas, to create a media-enhanced love story that may keep her safe. Byron and Damara do fall in love, but they are inhibited by his guilt and nightmares over losing his team on a previous op and her need to create the democracy in Catallegna her father dreamed of. Furthermore, several sets of bad guys are out to get them. Ultimately, they figure it all out in a military romance with more redemption than action, a heartfelt tale of serious love.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
