Synopsis (Goodreads):
The last thing he expects to catch in his river is a billionaire heiress.

Loner Boone Hendrix left the military with ghosts that haunt him. He lives with his dog Atlas on a farm in Vermont. Alone. Just the way he likes it. Until he rescues a half-drowned, beautiful brunette from his river.

Gemma Newhouse is the daughter of the richest man in America, and from the abrasions on her wrists and her drugged state, she’s on the run from someone dangerous. She’s nothing like Boone expected—sweet, smart, and likes baking—and she ignites a fierce need inside him.

Being a member of a covert Ghost Ops team taught him deadly skills, and he’ll use them all to keep her safe.

Gemma can’t remember the last twenty-four hours. All she knows is that someone abducted her. Someone dangerous. Her only goal is survival and she’s used to taking care of herself. She’s a constant disappointment to her driven, successful parents. She doesn’t want a brilliant career, all she wants is to bake and make people smile.

Finding herself in Boone’s strong arms wasn’t on her plan. Nor was his rugged face, hard body, and gold-brown eyes. She sees how much he’s cut himself off from life, how he believes he’s broken.

Thrust together, she realizes this quiet hero will do anything to protect her. Despite the danger around them, they can’t resist their growing attraction, but her captors are hunting her…

And Boone is the only thing standing in their way.
Thoughts on The Hero She Needs: The enigmatic Boone Hendrix has been showing up to lend a hand in a couple other series and YESSSSS. HIS TIME HAS COME! The big guy needs someone on his side who 100% supports him (besides Atlas) and finds him irresistible. As it turns out, that someone is a lady who's been abducted and manages during her escape to land in (practically) his front yard.

Gemma. The billionaire heiress who likes to bake and is way more down to earth than Boone expected her to be. She's sweet, beautiful, and completely clueless as to why someone would want to nab her off the street. One might think it's for her father's money, but no ransom demand sort of muddies the waters a bit.

With Boone and Atlas as her side, Gemma feels safe for the first time in a long time, but the bad guys aren't going to stop and it's up to Boone and Gemma (along with a few familiar faces from other series) to figure out why she's been targeted. Plus you know, they need to figure out how to keep the bad guys from continuing to hunt her down in the long run.

More than a little danger, a dog who knows how to keep his people safe, a fraught cross-country road trip, cake, familiar faces, an ex-Ghost Ops soldier who isn't about to let Gemma down, and a lady who knows a good thing when she washes up in his river. I'm VERY happy to see Boone find his special someone and can't wait for Shep's relationship woes!
