Long Live the Rebel (en Inglés) - E.L. Irwin

Everything AJ believed about her life was built on a lie.

A shocking letter from an attorney in Washington state reveals a father she never knew and a history she'd never expected. AJ has only one path forward: learn the truth for herself. Packing up her laptop, cat, and what's left of her self-assurance, she sets out on a journey she didn't want but can't ignore.

Ryler Dean isn't ready to let go.

The only father figure he's ever had-a man he idolized-has lost his long fight with cancer. Now Ryler, a battle-hardened Army Ranger, still haunted by the pain of a mission gone horribly wrong and the ghosts of those he lost, is left to guard this man's legacy. Including protecting the daughter his hero never got to meet. The last thing he wants is to play reluctant guardian or reopen old wounds that cut deeper than shrapnel.

When their worlds collide, sparks ignite... and tempers flare.

AJ and Ryler clash from the first heated glance-attraction warring with irritation, vulnerability with defiance. But as AJ's life as a bestselling author draws a dangerous stalker whose obsession knows no bounds, Ryler discovers the one enemy he can't walk away from. This Ranger has never backed down from a fight and he's not about to start now-not when the prize is a woman worth every risk.

In a battle for trust, healing, and a future neither saw coming, they'll learn the hardest truth of all: that the fiercest wars are fought for love.

Long Live the Rebel is a STEAMY (level 3) and CLOSED DOOR romantic suspense with FAITH elements featuring enemies to lovers, found family, and forced proximity tropes.
