Her Country Hero

Searching for a safe haven in the Kentucky hills, city girl Bekah Holloway encounters the unexpected—a handsome country boy who offers her help. Drew Kinley gives her a job working with wounded animals, but on the run from an abusive boyfriend, Bekah needs more than employment. She needs a hero. Instinct tells Drew he’s the perfect man for the skittish beauty. But he’s spent a lifetime saving his family farm and now it’s his turn to see the world outside of Oaks Crossing. As Bekah finds her forever home, will Drew leave…or stay and embrace a future together?

The mystery of Bekah.

He’d unravel it, no matter how long it took. And this was the first step.

But when he opened her door, her head whipped around to reveal a look of panic.

“You took ten years off my life,” she said. “What are you doing here this time of night?”

“I saw the light. Is everything okay?”

“So you’ve come to save the damsel in distress? My hero.” She fluttered her hands. “Or is this just another flirtation from Drew Kinley? I’ve heard all about you, you know.”

“You’re smart enough to make up your own mind about lots of things. Including me.”

“That’s a line.”

“No, it’s not.” He edged closer. “Who was he, Bekah? The guy who scares you so much, you can’t trust me not to hurt you the way he did.”

Panic seized her features again, but Drew rested a comforting hand on hers. “You can be honest with me.”

Bekah had called him her hero. He had every intention of proving to her that he was worthy of that title.

MIA ROSS loves great stories. She enjoys reading about fascinating people, long-ago times and exotic places. But only for a little while, because her reality is pretty sweet. Married to her college sweetheart, she’s the proud mom of two amazing kids, whose schedules keep her hopping. Busy as she is, she can’t imagine trading her life for anyone else’s—and she has a pretty good imagination. You can visit her online at miaross.com (http://www.miaross.com).
