Publisher's Summary

Broken Hero is an uplifting story about ordinary people adjusting to cope with extraordinary situations.

Audrey Pearson's life changed dramatically when WWII broke out and her large home, Twelve Pines on the East Yorkshire coast, became a convalescence home for wounded soldiers. Her life is no longer lavish, with entertainment and beautiful clothes and surrounded by a loving family. Soldiers, physically and mentally wounded, now fill her home. The smell of disinfectant replaces her mother's perfume, and gone are the friends and acquaintances - instead nurses roam the hallways.

Captain Jake Harding, a doctor training in psychiatry, arrives at Twelve Pines. Audrey immediately finds herself attracted to the captain, but he is remote toward her. Puzzled by his cold behavior, Audrey tries to learn more about the handsome captain. He reveals that he's lost a wife and baby in childbirth and refuses to ever remarry. However, despite this, Audrey believes she can change his mind and make him aware he doesn't have to spend his life alone.

The ice around Jake's heart begins to melt. For years he has rejected the possibility of finding love again because of the pain it caused him before, but the beautiful Audrey shows him her love, and she needs someone to love her in return. Could he honestly walk away from her, from the love that could be his?
