Blurb: Isabel Torres is a reclusive scientist brokenhearted by events in her murky past. When she’s the first in the country to develop an antidote for a new bioweapon, her special-ops brother enlists the services of Valor Security to transport her—and the vials—to the West Coast safely. Xavier Mastroianni is a former soldier fighting the demons that cling to him from a faulty hit years ago. When a brother-in-arms offers him a job in an effort to help piece his life back together, he’s thrown into the path of the sexy scientist with sad eyes and a smart mouth. Brought together on a mission for international security, Isabel’s snark and Xavier’s sarcasm mix like fire and fuel, and the two dark souls taunt each other at every turn. But when thrown into a life-or-death situation, bonds form, secrets are exposed, and as danger mounts at every mile, both begin to wonder if they’ll survive the mission—without losing their what’s left of their fractured hearts. Sexy and suspenseful and unexpectedly funny, Fractured Valor has some of romance lovers’ favorite tropes: enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, brother’s frenemy, just one room, and a healthy dose of scorching open-door spice.
