Bert

Lighthouse Security Investigations Montana, Book 7

By: Maryann Jordan

Narrated by: Matt Hicks

Love isn’t about what you’ve lost.

It’s about finding someone who sees all of you—and stands beside you anyway.

When a car accident stole her ability to walk, Mary Smithwick refused to let it steal her future.

Starting over in Montana as the administrative manager for Lighthouse Security Investigations, Mary is determined to prove she belongs. She doesn’t expect to find herself drawn to Bert Tomlinson, a former Navy SEAL whose quiet strength and unwavering respect make her feel truly seen. Working side by side, their professional partnership deepens into something neither is ready to admit.

For Bert, protecting others is instinct, but his feelings grow as he sees Mary's resilience, intelligence, and fierce independence. But thinking those feelings were one-sided, he vowed to remain just friends.

Until danger forces his hand.

This book was a wonderful read. From the time they meet through learning how to live and be a couple around a disability. Not very graphic with intimate scenes, but lots of adventure and some mystery.
