    About this ebook

    A scholar reaching for her dreams. A hero living on borrowed time. Can she make them a permanent arrangement before his time runs out?

    Francisco DeMonti has always been a man with a plan. Though his last plan led to his entire squad being wounded on a mission in Afghanistan. Now he's seeking redemption by getting all the men in his unit hitched so they can stay together and heal on the Purple Heart Ranch. But his own heart is under lock and key due to the shrapnel around it that could kill him at any moment.

    Eva Lopez has always believed in the power of education. After years of scraping and saving, she finally steps foot onto a college campus only to be yanked away by the mean streets she came from. A local gang threatens her family's safety until a wounded veteran offers a reprieve: marry a soldier in exchange for protection and the freedom to attend school.

    Fran has every intention of directing Eva towards one of his brothers in arms, men who aren't in danger of a sudden death, but he can't resist the brainy brunette and proposes to her himself. He'll protect for as long as he breathes, but falling in love is futile for a man with a ticking time bomb in his chest. Eva can't help falling for the man who is making her dreams come true, but when he keeps her at arm's length, can she convince him to make this marriage more than a convenience no matter how much or how little time they have left?


    Find out if love can truly heal all wounds in this light-hearted, sweet romance of convenient arrangements that unfold into lasting love. Hand Over His Heart is the second in a series of marriage of convenience tales featuring Wounded Warriors who are healed with the power of love.
