Ridge — Livia Quinn

Book 1 of the Men of Honor, a military family romance series by Livia Quinn. He's "the one" and everyone knows it but him... but will his mission come at too great a cost? Buffy Calloway was famous on the runways of Paris as Lana Maisel, but now she's looking for one special man to be the face of her franchise. At a writers conference, she discovers Tucker, a late arrival with just the 'je ne sais quoi' that will make her agency a success. Ridge Romano billionaire CEO, Medtronics expert, former Army Ranger is in D.C. to meet with Congress about his crucial Veterans bill, which will revolutionize care for vets and their families. So, how did he wind up on stage between two cover models with a hundred women shouting, "Tucker, take it off"? That's the question his family and friends would be asking tomorrow. That, and "Who's Tucker?" Hopefully, he would be able to slip away without any repercussions. The Calloways have always known what they want, and Buffy knows Ridge is 'the one' for her. There's just one problem--Ridge scoffs at the notion of himself as a cover model, and Buffy can't argue with his noble cause. She'll have to enlist the entire romance community to make her plan work. But could this be the first time a Calloway was wrong? NOTE: This book was previously published as Her First Knight "I have to say this is one of the best written stories Ive read in a while. I loved the way this was written and the story it tells. This is not a short read, but also not one of those books that have you skipping paragraphs (sometimes pages) to find stuff relevant to the story. The author does a very good job of letting you get to know the characters in a way that feels natural and flows all in good time. I love that you adds the romance industries struggles into her story, and it is also done in such a way you don't even realize...I cannot give this book enough praise." Amazon reviewer the Naughty Librarian "I loved this story, Ridge is in DC trying to get the government to pass a bill to help veterns health care after his brother died from PTSD. He follows a red headed girl into a romance writers convention, and before he can blink he is dragged to the stage, as they think he is a cover model." Crystalon What inspired you to write about your hero? Ridge Romano is a hero in ways he would never acknowledge, as so many of our service men and women are. They don't expect or even enjoy the attention or adoration of the masses. They merely put their lives on the line everyday for us, because of their own sense of duty and honor. Ridge is my way of saying, "If I could, I would do this for you because you so deserve to have your needs met when you come back from serving your country. Ridge puts veterans first. His mission is what we'd all like to be able to give our troops in return for their service. And... as some alphas can be a little hard-headed, it takes a special woman to help him realize he's not alone, that there's strength in numbers and sometimes help arrives in ways you couldn't imagine.
