[Protector Sweethearts 02] • Once a Hero

**They shield each other. But there is no way out.**

Emerging from a deep undercover operation gone wrong, FBI Special Agent Jake Kessler finds himself suspended without pay and left out of the remaining hunt for the most notorious terrorist in the world. The only person who might be able to help him is a random stranger he meets in San Francisco, who wants something in return even when there is a price on her own head.

Book 2 in *USA Today* bestselling author Jan Thompson’s **Protector Sweethearts** Christian romantic suspense series, *Once a Hero* is the story of maverick Jake, who first appears undercover in *Reach for Me* (Vacation Sweethearts Book 2), where the hunt for Molyneux forms the undercurrent of the story. This time, Jake plans to wrap up the unfinished business, no matter what it takes.
