SOLO MEDALIST WINNER

Two Hearts Find Christmas (Two Hearts Wounded Warrior Romance Book 5)

by Tamara Ferguson

Recently blinded, wounded warrior Josh Loughlin has returned to his Wisconsin hometown at Christmastime.
As a teenager, Josh operated with a ring of thieves run by his father. But when his stepbrother was forced to tolerate the same mental and physical abuse Josh experienced himself, Josh stepped up, and went to the police. Given a second chance, Josh exceled in the military. Once a caregiver for her terminally ill mother, teenager Nina Chandler knew that despite the bike and tattoos, Josh wasn't the bad boy he’d pretended to be. When Josh saved Nina from near assault at Dragonfly Pointe, they’d shared a magical connection. Presently a nurse at the wounded warrior home, Nina helps Josh confront the demons from his abusive past. But does an attempt on Josh’s life mean his tarnished past has caught up with him, or will fate allow Josh and Nina to find love at Christmas?

The election will not only determine Blake's fate, but that of the woman he loves and the entire state of Texas.
