What happens when the hero comes home?

Dr Brody McKenna has just returned from serving as a medic in Afghanistan. He's returned to his life as a family doctor, with one more mission to fulfil...

Standing outside Kate Spencer's cosy sweet shop, he takes a deep breath. Going through that door will take more courage than ever, for he's here to keep a promise made to his dying friend. He's prepared for tears or anger-not for the gut-deep punch of attraction he feels for sparky-but-stressed Kate. One spontaneous offer of help later, this hero is surrounded by cupcakes, candy canes-and the greatest temptation he's ever known to forget his past and take a new kind of risk...

Then cut-throat billionaire Finn 'The Hawk' McKenna comes to Ellie with a proposition, and Ellie's ready with some truly ruthless terms...

Ellie's rival firm is Finn's only hope, but he isn't prepared for Ellie's merger-with-a-twist...marriage! Finn has no plans to let anyone close, even someone as feisty, vulnerable and downright intriguing as Ellie. But saying `I do', even when you don't really, has a way of making even the most stubborn people wake up and realise what they've been missing...
