Hidden Hero

Baytown Heroes, Book 11

By: Maryann Jordan

Narrated by: Kale Williams

True heroes aren’t just the ones who run into danger but also those who stand strong in the face of it.

On Virginia’s quiet Eastern Shore, two unsung heroes find themselves drawn together by duty and a growing connection neither expected.

Detective Jeremy Pickett thrives on the rush of high-stakes investigations, his charm as disarming as his determination. But when he meets Dr. Cora Wadsworth, the reserved and brilliant Medical Examiner who’s immune to his easy charisma, Jeremy finds himself unexpectedly intrigued.

Cora, an introvert by nature, traded the chaos of big-city life for the solace of the shore, intent on leaving her past behind. Yet, as she works alongside Jeremy to unravel a mysterious death, her guarded exterior begins to crack, revealing the courage and compassion that make her a hero in her own right.

When an unassuming autopsy uncovers a deadly secret, Cora becomes the target of someone desperate to hide the truth. When Cora faces a dangerous situation, Jeremy confronts the depths of his feelings. Racing against time, he must save the woman who’s become far more than a colleague—and protect the love he never saw coming.

A Baytown Boys sub-series.
