Mercenary's Woman by New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer

All retired soldier of fortune Ebenezer Scott wants is to finally have some peace and quiet. But when schoolteacher Sally Johnson's life is put in danger, Eb will do anything to keep her safe. Sally doesn't want his help, but Eb is determined to protect her, and to prove he's exactly what she needs, one kiss at a time.

Sally used to dream of the day Eb held her in his arms. But he broke her heart six years ago, and she can't trust him to not hurt her again. Then someone threatens her and her nephew, and the reclusive mercenary is the only one she can turn to. Now Eb must risk it all to win the sweet-natured beauty over...before it's too late.

Delores Fossen's Bio

Imagine a family tree that includes Texas cowboys, Choctaw and Cherokee Indians, a Louisiana pirate, and a Scottish rebel who battled side by side with William Wallace. With ancestors like that, it's easy to understand why Texas author and former Air Force captain, Delores Fossen, feels as if she were genetically predisposed to writing romances. Along the way to fulfilling her DNA destiny, Delores married an Air Force Top Gun who just happens to be of Viking descent. With all those romantic bases covered, she doesn't have to look too far for inspiration. Delores writes comedy-historical romances for Dorchester Leisure, romantic suspense for Harlequin Intrigue and contemporary romantic comedies for Harlequin Duets.
