He’s shocked to discover his best friend’s daughter is one of the scientists. The beautiful Halle Bradshaw who Ren once kissed, who ignites a powerful craving inside him.

Ren and Halle will no longer be able to hide from their white-hot desire or their demons. She’s determined to convince him to take a chance on love…but first, they have to survive. 4 Heart Review by Ashley I love me a romance with a touch of the forbidden. Throw some danger into the mix and I was all in for The Hero She Craves. I liked Halle a lot. She was smart and determined. Unwilling to back down from what she wanted. And she wanted Ren. Had wanted him for years and wasn't going to let her chance slip away. If only she could get the broody former military man to admit his true feelings... What should've been smooth sailing quickly became the adventure of a lifetime as they fought to survive. From the ocean to the jungle and back to sea, Halle and Ren's friends to lovers romance was high octane and kept me on the edge of my seat. And that ending...can you say full circle moment? It was the perfect way tof them to sail into their happily ever after. About the Author I’m a USA Today bestselling romance author who’s passionate about fast-paced, emotion-filled romantic suspense and science-fiction romance. I love writing about people overcoming unbeatable odds and achieving seemingly impossible goals. I like to believe it’s possible for all of us to do the same.
My parents are to blame for my insatiable need to mix action, adventure, and romance. When I was young, I raided my mother’s romances and my father’s action adventure thrillers. I love being exhilarated and left just a little breathless. I’m a sucker for that moment when the team is walking in slow motion, shoulder-to-shoulder heading off into battle.
