Publisher's Synopsis
The only thing Rowan Beale ever wanted was to be a cop. But in the wake of her partner's death, she still hasn't been cleared to return to duty. Amid rumors of PTSD and struggling under the weight of survivor's guilt, she's starting to believe she never will be. Already at loose ends, when her Uncle Robert has a heart attack, she doesn't hesitate to go to Wishful to take care of him. Reserve officer Nash Brewer is a born care-taker, so of course he pitches in after his neighbor and mentor has heart surgery. But it's not just the former Wishful Police Chief who needs his help. Robert's strong, gutsy niece is hurting and haunted-and someone's been targeting her. Nash can't help but fall as he and Rowan investigate, while keeping the secret from her fragile, but sharp-eyed uncle. When evidence points to Rowan herself as the perpetrator, the former Navy pilot knows in his gut there's something more going on. But how can he ignore the facts of the case? And how can Rowan stand for one more person to believe she's unstable, especially the man she wants to trust with her heart? This is a Wishing for a Hero Novella. You should expect a quick read, a fast-moving adventure in Wishful that's a complete and satisfying story--no cliffhangers here!--and a "happy for now" ending. Grab a glass of sweet tea and enjoy! Author Interview Q: What makes the Wishing For A Hero series special? Wishing For A Hero is a collection of southern romance novels honoring my Mississippi roots. When I started my core Wishful Romance series, I set out to highlight everything that I love about living in the small town South--all our quirks, foibles, and dreams provide a fabulous (and often funny) backdrop to contemporary romances about stubborn, independent women and the men who love them. But not every story fit that lighter side. Wishing For A Hero novels are still small town romance stories, but they've got a darker tone and an edge of suspense. Q: Who would dig these books? Wishing For A Hero is a southern romance series written for anyone looking for love in a small town--with a dose of suspense.
