About this ebook

Will Two Tormented Souls Have The Courage To Reach For Love?

The only family Nolan O’Rourke ever claimed were his Navy SEAL brothers, they had never let him down. His childhood wasn’t rough, it wasn’t hard, it was hell, and now any mission that he was assigned to was a cakewalk in comparison.

When Nolan finds out that his mother, the woman who had made his childhood a nightmare, had died giving birth to his baby sister, it was decision time. Could he handle going back to Tennessee, even though he’d sworn never to step foot in Jasper Creek ever again?

Mary Smith is in trouble. Fourteen months, five states and three names ago she was still on the run from a man who is intent on killing her. Now she finds herself in a trailer park in the middle of nowhere Tennessee, ready to run again at the slightest provocation. But she has a problem; a tiny bundle wrapped in a pink blanket. How could she have promised a dead woman that she’d take care of her baby?

Will two people who don’t believe in trust or love, come together to save a life, and possibly make their own lives worth living?

Ratings and reviews

Nolan. SEAL. His SEAL brothers are his family. Until he receives a letter. Friendship, caring, romance. Cue the sinister music as the risk ramps up. This is a page turner. Very rarely do I put down Caitlyn O'Leary tales before I am done (what's a little lost sleep). This is a part of the Long Road Home collection (some of my favorite authors have collaborated on this collection). Bravo!! I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Part of the Long Road Home series (a multi author series), Defending Home is a emotional, fast paced tale of two broken people who find the "glue" to repair themselves in each other. I like that both Nolan and Mary are strong, caring people despite their nightmare childhoods. There's plenty of humor, action and steam, with appearances from some of my favorites from Caitlyn O'Leary's world made this a wonderful read for me. Enjoy!

Oh, so good. A fantastic roundabout way back home to Jasper Creek where Nolan thought he'd never step foot again. So many changes and Nolan now has a baby sister to look out for along with a spunky, mouthy, innocent, clever, naive caregiver, aka virgin, he got poleaxed by. Maggie, who is a beautiful person inside and out, figures out her way of life has not been the norm, nope, and of course wants Nolan to instruct her on the correct ways, or at least the most pleasurable ways. This journey wouldn't be complete without Blessing, the other boys, and her woo woo ways LoL. A ton of feels throughout, mixed with hilarity at any given second, the sweetest, hottest heat around, and an HEA to make y'all melty!
