His Truly (Special Forces: Operation Alpha) (Heroes in Hardhats #8)

Lennie Fraisaro knows he has a lot to learn, and not about the carpentry he's currently doing for his new boss, Safety, on the wounded-vet development. No. He needs to get a handle on why he feels the need to rush head-long into situations that inevitably get someone hurt…or killed. It's a failing that has gotten him into a lot of jeopardy in the past. Now, after reconnecting with a woman he’s longed for since high school, can he approach her problems any differently? She's in trouble, and he feels it's his job to help her. Can he do that without causing serious consequences? His actions seem inevitable. He just prays they won’t come back to haunt him.

Even though Truly Schumm hasn’t seen Lennie in years, she certainly remembers him as the one who got away. They’d never hooked up in high school, but he's the fantasy-man to whom she’s measured every date she’s ever been on, since. The question is, does she dare let him into her life, now? Having remained friends with Lennie’s mother, Truly has been kept apprised over the years of Lennie’s propensity to leap to the rescue of people in distress, regardless of how it plays out for him in the end. Truly’s situation is so messed up, Lennie will surely want to intervene, but is she ready to have him risk everything in order to make a future relationship possible?
