Rescued Heart — Tarina Deaton

“Please, Jordan. It's Emme.” The last thing Major Jordan Grant expected was to be pulled off his unit's deployment for a civilian mission. But when Titan calls, you answer -- especially when the mission is to rescue the younger sister of your childhood best friend. Moments away from death, NGO nurse Emme France could only pray for a miracle. The last person she expected to see in the smoke and dust was Jordan Grant, her teenage crush and litmus test of all the men she'd dated ever since. Lying low at Titan's exotic Abu Dhabi headquarters while the media furor around her rescue settles, Emme and Jordan explore a mutual attraction that is no longer young and innocent. Days in the desert paradise ignite desire and blur reality…until they return home, where Jordan rejoins his deployed unit and Emme is left alone to reevaluate her life and priorities. Their passion was forged in the fires of combat. Will the home fires be enough to keep the burn alive?
