Soldier’s Honor by Shanae Johnson

Two hearts under command—will love be their ultimate mission?

Colonel Larry Sharp is a man of discipline and duty. Newly assigned to the Honor Valley military base, he’s devoted to modernizing operations and mentoring the next generation of military leaders. But despite his best efforts, he struggles to connect with his younger subordinates.
Andrea Madden is the colonel’s new assistant. Andrea has a past that has left her yearning for stability. She dreams of putting down roots in this tight-knit community. Professional and poised, she expertly manages Larry’s life—so efficiently, in fact, that she begins to break through the walls around his heart.
But when a stolen kiss between the stoic colonel and his young secretary threatens to dismantle the trust and respect, they’ve both painstakingly built with the team, the budding relationship is tested. Rumors swirl, jeopardizing not just Larry’s career, but Andrea’s newly formed ties to the community she’s come to love.

In a world where duty reigns supreme, can love find a way to salute? As old wounds and new affections collide, Larry and Andrea must decide what they’re willing to risk for a love that could set them both free.
