Soldier's Pride. Honor Valley Romances, #11

When love takes the stage, it outshines the competition. Tyrone Hopkins, a dedicated soldier and single dad, faces his toughest mission yet: raising his twin daughters alone after the loss of his beloved wife. Struggling to connect with their girly interests, Tyrone finds an unlikely ally in the person he least expects-his late wife's twin sister; the woman who seems to challenge him at every turn. Elise Jordan has always kept her distance from her brother-in-law, her icy demeanor hiding a whirlwind of emotions and a secret longing she's never dared to confess.
Thrown together to support the twins' latest endeavor-a kiddie beauty pageant-Tyrone and Elise must navigate their turbulent past and undeniable chemistry. As the pageant lights glow, so does the spark between them, turning their once-cold war into a blaze of passion. But with the shadows of their past looming over them, can Tyrone and Elise break down the walls between them and build a new future for their patchwork family? Or will their fragile truce crumble under the weight of unspoken fears and unhealed wounds? Soldier's Pride is a heartwarming small town military romance that explores the power of love, loss and second chances.
With the single dad and enemies-turned-ally tropes at its core, this story will sweep you away and leave you rooting for Elise and Tyrone's happily ever after.
