All her life, elite Delta Force operative Kate Wilder had played by the rules - including the one that forbid her from following through on the scalding hot chemistry she had with her commanding officer, Captain Mason "Bear" Johnson. But rules are like people - all too easy to break. Kate found that out the hard way, when she and Bear crossed pathes with Kamal Kahn - a brutal, psychotic terrorist who nearly stole everything from her. Captured, tortured, and broken, Kate was left mentally and physically shattered - and while Bear and his team were able to bring her home, Kate's friends and family were left wondering if she'd ever be whole again. Can Kate recover from the wounds of her past? Can Bear come to terms with the danger he placed her in? In the cool seclusion of rural Maine, can these two broken hearts make each other whole? Or are shattered lives unable to be pieced back together - and does the valor Kamal Kahn stole from Kate include the bravery to open up her heart to love again? Stolen Valor is Book Seven in the acclaimed Johnson Family series by author Holly J. Martin - each one a fast-paced, richly detailed romance that seamlessly weaves achingly intense emotion with pulse-racing suspense and heart-warming true love. WARNING: This book contains realistic and appropriate depictions of PTSD and the circumstances that cause it, and is dedicated to the valor and courage of our young men and women in uniform.
