The Heart of a Hero duology shifts Laura Trentham’s focus from small-town Southern settings to the world of military families. The Military Wife (2019) follows a woman navigating life after her husband’s deployment, while An Everyday Hero (2020) explores the challenges of returning to civilian life. Both books treat the military backdrop with respect and use it to raise the emotional stakes of the romances.

These are among Trentham’s more serious books, with heavier themes than her Cottonbloom or Sweet Home Alabama series. The military setting gives the characters a different kind of pressure, and Trentham handles the balance between romance and real-world difficulty with care. Readers who enjoy Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone or similar fiction that mixes love stories with weightier subject matter will find these two books worth picking up.
