A man with visible scars. A woman hurt by betrayal. Will an unexpected bundle of joy be their cure?

The Army calls Sean Jeffries a hero, but his hesitation to take down a child suicide bomber left dozens wounded and him with a permanent scar. Wracked by nightmares of those he couldn’t save, he’s sworn to live a life of solitude in penance. His only bright spot is his nurse, Ruhi. But when she finds herself in trouble, can Sean step up to be a hero again?

Ruhi Patel’s casual approach to dating leads to men who won’t commit. After her last non-boyfriend not only dumped her, but stole her dream job, Ruhi swears off men. However, she soon learns she’s pregnant. Being a single mom is not part of her plan. So when her favorite patient proposes a platonic marriage of convenience, Ruhi takes it into serious consideration.

After the two say “I do,” feelings begin to grow. But Sean is holding himself back, convinced he doesn’t deserve happiness. And Ruhi is afraid she’s falling for yet another unavailable man. Can these two sidestep heartache and allow themselves to be loved despite their scars?

Find out if love can truly heal all wounds in this light-hearted, sweet romance of convenient arrangements that unfold into lasting love. His Permanent Scar is the fourth in a series of marriage of convenience tales featuring Wounded Warriors who are healed with the power of love.

Sean has accepted that he will have to move and just visit the ranch. When Ruhi’s boyfriend breaks up with her and she learns she’s pregnant, Sean has the perfect solution. Will she agree to his plans or will she do things on her own? Grab your copy and fall in love with this fantastic series. I highly recommend all the books in this series. I can’t wait to read Xavier’s book next.

Sean and His Lady

I encountered The Brides of Purple Heart Ranch last week. Many books later -- great stories, each standalone but better when read in order. Each book deals with a wounded warrior, wounds both physical and, in some cases, issues within. Each finds his lady and the classic romance begins. Note: courtship, gentle romance for all ages. Sean reaches for his lady. Loved the story. Wonderful characters, brothers and their wives. Bravo, bravo!!

Another sweet story

Another sweet story in the series. I liked this couple. I think this was too short though. I would have liked to see him with the baby. Nice book though.
