Rescuing Mary — Susan Stoker

Ford “Truck” Laughlin and Mary Weston have weathered their share of storms over the last couple years. Truck's job, Mary's health. His bossiness, her bitchiness. All while dancing around their intense attraction. Mary's tried to push him away for his own good but Truck won't let her give up…on herself or on them. Just when she decides they deserve a fair shot, disaster strikes.

Truck has wanted Mary since the moment he saw her. The prickly woman pushes all his buttons and looks beyond his scarred exterior, something few women have managed. His plan to take their relationship to the next level is stalled when he's injured on a mission. And he's barely feeling like his old self again before the couple is dealt another blow, one that could permanently end their chances…and their lives.

**Rescuing Mary is the 9th book in the Delta Force Heroes Series. Usually my books are stand-alones, but in this case, I feel you would get more enjoyment out of the story if you read the other books first, since Mary and Truck's relationship evolves throughout the series. If nothing else, I recommend reading the first book in the series, Rescuing Rayne, where their relationship began.
