And Never Let Her Down by Nancy Glynn

When Aubrey’s brother pulls the ultimate joke on her, she doesn’t know whether to kill him or thank him.

With a fractured ankle, Aubrey O’Dell is stuck alone in her old childhood home for the winter. After leaving a bad relationship in New York, she seeks solace back in Destiny, IL and finds it until her brother decides to send a friend to help her. At first, she thinks it’s a prank like all the rest, but then she hears the snowblower outside being pushed by a man wearing a cowboy hat.

Master Sergeant Hayden Brock had known Danny’s sister from all the letters and gifts she had sent her brother while deployed. He owes Danny his life after what he had done for him. So, when Danny asks him to do a big favor, he doesn’t flinch. Retiring after twenty years and ready to go home, he figures he’ll make a pitstop and help the beautiful Aubrey out before he heads back to Texas.

After the initial shock and stubbornness melts away, Aubrey allows Hayden to help her until her foot heals. But there are still secrets they’re both hiding that can damage the budding relationship. Shameful ones. And then there’s Texas calling and needing Hayden back.
Will their love withstand all obstacles, or will they go their separate ways?
