A Warrior’s Heart by Rochelle Summers

Coming home was easy. Putting the past behind him was not.

Lucan Burke has made a career as a doctor in the army. Just shy of forty, he has finished his last tour in Afghanistan and must now deal with the effects of being gone for so long. Heading back to New Orleans, Lucan is unable to put the war behind him. He decides a change is needed and slips off to the bayou property his late mother left him. It is here he hopes to piece his life back together and block out the noise of the world.
Lucan struggles with PTSD, the scars of his active duty tour haunting him. He chooses to isolate himself in the rundown old mansion in a town where everyone he knew is either dead or moved away. Then he spies Alexandra Monet and his heart awakens. She is the picture of beauty. Lucan quickly becomes infatuated with her and rediscovers what it feels like to be alive again.
The quiet life on the bayou is heating up as Lucan and Alexandra ignite their passion. For Lucan, it is the opportunity to escape the demons of his past, but is he ready for a relationship or is this doomed to fail before it even begins?
