The last thing he expects to catch in his river is a billionaire heiress. Loner Boone Hendrix left the military with ghosts that haunt him. He lives with his dog Atlas on a farm in Vermont. Alone. Just the way he likes it. Until he rescues a half-drowned, beautiful brunette from his river. Gemma Newhouse is the daughter of the richest man in America, and from the abrasions on her wrists and her drugged state, she’s on the run from someone dangerous. She’s nothing like Boone expected—sweet, smart, and likes baking—and she ignites a fierce need inside him. Being a member of a covert Ghost Ops team taught him deadly skills, and he’ll use them all to keep her safe. Gemma can’t remember the last twenty-four hours. All she knows is that someone abducted her. Someone dangerous. Her only goal is survival and she’s used to taking care of herself. She’s a constant disappointment to her driven, successful parents. She doesn’t want a brilliant career, all she wants is to bake and make people smile. Finding herself in Boone’s strong arms wasn’t on her plan. Nor was his rugged face, hard body, and gold-brown eyes. She sees how much he’s cut himself off from life, how he believes he’s broken. Thrust together, she realizes this quiet hero will do anything to protect her. Despite the danger around them, they can’t resist their growing attraction, but her captors are hunting her… And Boone is the only thing standing in their way. 4 Heart Review by Ashley What a way to kick off a book! The opening of The Hero She Needs had my pulse pounding and me rooting for Gemma. A woman in his river was the last thing Boone expected when he went fishing but that is exactly what he got. And so much more with the danger she brought to his solitude. It should've annoyed him but there was something about her that brought out all of his protective instincts. She may've been on the run but she was not going down without a fight. And she proved that over and over again as the danger always seemed to be a step ahead. And somewhere along the way from Vermont to Colorado and back again, these two formed a bond that went soul deep. Gemma and Boone's romance had my heart racing with its danger and steam. I mean seriously, those two...whew! I can't wait to see what Anna Hackett has in store for this group as this series unfolds. 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.
