Synopsis (Goodreads):
The last thing he wants is to trek into the jungle to save the President’s daughter.Thoughts on The Hero She Wants: Shep, the grumpy loner who likes his solitude and mountain (possibly in that order), is up and I must say he meets his match in Hayden. She's nothing like he expected the President's daughter to be and she isn't afraid to point out when he's being extra grumpy.
Shepherd “Shep” Barlow left the military behind. All he wants is to stay on his Colorado mountain—alone, with no interruptions, and no people. He especially likes to avoid people.
Then his former commander arrives, asking him to risk his life on a deadly mission to Central America. A mission to rescue the archeologist daughter of the President of the United States.
Once a member of a covert Ghost Ops team, Shep has the skills to get in quietly and rescue Ms. Sinclair. And as much as he wishes otherwise, he can’t leave an innocent woman in danger.
Hayden Sinclair loves her work. It keeps her far away from the liars, cheats, and phonies in Washington D.C. But when she’s abducted from her archeological dig in Nicaragua, she’s plunged into a life-or-death situation. Her captors plan to use her as a bargaining chip, and Hayden knows she has to escape.
What she never expected was to collide with the world’s biggest, grumpiest rescuer.
On the run in the jungle with six and a half feet of rugged, muscular, scowling man, she finds Shep rude and annoying. But as her captors ruthlessly hunt them, she also discovers a man who’ll risk his own life to protect hers.
Neither of them are looking for love, especially when they have to fight to survive…besides, there could never be a happy ending for the daughter of the President and a grumpy, battle-scarred soldier, could there?
Just to be clear, Hayden's dealing with a lot when Shep appears to help her escape her captors (although she would undoubtedly argue she escaped them herself) and she knows without a doubt that if she breaks down while in the middle of the danger they're in it will complicate things. So she soldiers on and does what needs to be done. And ends up liking Shep and his grumpy attitude and protectiveness far more than she expected.
On Shep's end, he doesn't want to care because caring leads to heartache when you lose someone. Against his every instinct, Hayden manages to crawl under his skin and wedge herself into his heart even though he fought against it as hard as he could. He also knows anything between them can't go anywhere since she's the president's daughter and she deserves someone better than him. Joke's on him, though, because Hayden is pretty sure there's no one better than him and she's willing to fight to keep him.
A whole lot of danger, some thrilling heroics, more than a few steamy kisses, bad guys who want to do very awful things, a warrior who fights hard for the things that matter, and a lady who isn't about to let the best person in her life slip through her fingers. *thumbs up*
