In Glory, Kansas, a fairy-tale wedding has local tongues wagging. But through this false engagement, can a wounded warrior and the woman he's protecting find true love?
Byron Hawkins doesn't want to be responsible for anyone ever again. The former Black Ops soldier is better at taking lives than saving them. But on a mission in Tunisia to deliver a package to safety, Byron is dismayed to find that the precious cargo is actually a hostage rescue, and that his orders are to take Damara Petrakis back to US soil and hide her in plain sight—as his newlywed wife.
Back in Byron's hometown of Glory, Kansas, petite, fierce Damara keeps surprising him; she may be royalty, but she's fully trained in martial arts and will sacrifice anything for her country. As the town rallies around the returning hero and his bride-to-be, he's finding that it's way too easy to play the part, and after the hell he has seen, that terrifies him. Byron didn't want another life to save, but the passionate beauty he's sworn to protect might just turn the tables and save him instead.

Interview for Sara Arden
+++++++++++++
Thank you for your time Ms. Arden, I have to say I’m a big fan and it’s an honor to interview you for this Valentine’s special.
Hi! Thank you so much for having me. It’s an honor to be interviewed. ;)
Which hero from your stories would you like to be your Valentine?
Oh, easy. Jack from Return to Glory, the first book in the Home to Glory series. He is ever so yummy and taking that journey with him, well, I kind of fell in love with him along the way.
What is the best Valentine’s date? Real or imagined?
Anything that makes your heart beat just a little faster. Whether it’s that intimate dinner and your hands touch, or a night at home on the couch where you forget what you’re watching because you just can’t stop kissing each other… as long as there’s that spark that burns with a deeper fire, it’s perfect. All the pretty flowers, chocolates, and grand gestures in the world don’t make up for that.
As a writer of romance, do you have higher expectations for Valentine’s day?
I don’t, actually. You might think I would since I do write about these relationships. But I don’t. Valentine’s Day is a lovely idea, I mean, any time there’s a reason to put more love out in the world? I’m in. But it’s not THE day for me. My husband and I celebrate New Year’s more because it was our first date. We actually celebrate that with a bigger to do than our wedding anniversary. We always say the wedding was just making it official, but it was that first date where we knew our lives had changed forever.
Do you have anything special planned for this Valentine’s?
We’ll probably go out for dinner and a movie as a family and then play Cards Against Humanity and eat too much chocolate when we get home.
Chocolate or Flowers?
Flowers. There’s something so magical about getting flowers. I can buy my own chocolate.
Boxers or Briefs?
Anything but tighty whities.
White linen or casual dining?
Each has its time and place and I enjoy both.
A night in or a night out?
Again, I have to go with both. See, I’m a have my cake and eat it too sort of girl. I’m usually up for any kind of adventure, or snuggling up with an old quilt, some hot tea and a good book. I’m a big believer in experiencing everything you can.
Thanks again for having me and I hope your Valentine’s Day is Happily Ever After worthy.
