Synopsis (Goodreads):
The last thing he wants is to hunt a dangerous fugitive in the Alaskan wilderness, especially with a tough, stubborn US marshal.

Parker Conroy moved to Alaska to be alone. His military career in Ghost Ops ended with an explosion and three torturous weeks of captivity. It’s left him scarred, wanting to avoid people, and hating being touched.

When US Marshal Jenna Sheriden knocks on his door, he has no time for the attractive marshal. But she isn’t taking no for an answer.

A dangerous fugitive is on the loose, and he happens to be a rogue Ghost Ops soldier.

Jenna Sheriden lives and breathes being a marshal. Her past has left her with something to prove. She has zero interest in love, relationships, or anything that slows her down.

She needs help hunting a deadly murderer. She needs Parker Conroy.

The gruff, lean loner radiates a dark intensity she can’t ignore, but he has the skills to help her track down her quarry. Thrust together, they’re sharing the same bed, the same tent, and working together every hour of the day.

As they draw closer to catching the killer, Jenna sees under Park’s scarred exterior to the man beneath. A man who tempts her in ways no one ever has before. A man who will do anything to keep her safe.

If they survive this hunt, then Jenna knows she’ll have the biggest challenge of all—convincing her scarred hero to take a chance on love.
Thoughts on The Hero She Loves: We met Parker in Hollis and Sawyer's book and he was VERY MUCH one of Vander's men. Which is to say he was gloriously capable and pretty much a loner. You know, until he meets his person. Then he just might be okay with having someone at his side.

In Parker's case, his someone is US Marshall Sheridan. Jenna is driven and gloriously capable as well. She's also observant and dogged. Which means she doesn't give up on people when they cross her path. As it turns out, that goes for both ex-military men and fugitives. Sure, she and Parker might have only crossed paths initially because she needed his help in hunting down a dangerous killer, but she saw all the layers hidden under Parker's grouchy exterior and it didn't take long before she was trying to convince herself that a relationship with the big guy was probably a bad idea since they lived two very different lives in two very different parts of the country. To be fair, she didn't do well convincing herself of any of that.

A dangerous killer with the skill to disappear if given the chance, a chase that throws two people together in the best way, a man who knows a good partner when he meets her (although he fights that partnership for a while), and a lady who gives everything she's involved in 100%. Well, except her last relationship. But good riddance to that guy, amirite?!?!
