An Act of Courage

She's the light from his past. He's the one her heart has always longed for. Trained by the best, Christopher Walker has fought hard for his country and even harder to forget the only girl he's ever loved. He spent countless nights submerged in death and destruction only to find himself clinging to the memories of her when the darkness crept in. When her life is threatened, Christopher will stop at nothing to protect her. Even if it means having to confront his past. Alissa Malone never thought she would find herself face-to-face again with the only boy she's ever loved. But she soon realizes Christopher is not the same man he once was. His touch is still electrifying-his voice still earth-shattering. But there's a darkness about him that wasn't there before. A pain he harbors so deep that she can feel it all the way to her soul. One fateful moment destroyed his very existence, and only one person will be able to make him realize that what he considers an act of dishonor was truly an act of courage. ***An Act of Courage is book four in the Acts of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men of Honor. Each book can be read as a standalone, but for the best reading experience, I recommend reading Resisting Temptation prior as the characters have pivotal roles in both books.
If you love steamy, emotional Romantic Suspense stories with protective alpha males and sweet heroines who will stop at nothing to find their happily-ever-after, then this series is for you.
