Book Three: Independence Falls
January 20, 2015
Synopsis
He was nobody's hero until he landed in the wrong bed …
Armed with a golden retriever and a concealed weapons permit, Lena Clark is fighting for normal. She served her country, but the experience left her emotionally numb and estranged from her career-military family. Staying in Independence Falls seems like the first step to reclaiming her life until the town playboy stumbles into her bed …
Chad Summers is living his dream—helicopter logging by day and slipping between the sheets with Mrs. Right Now by night. Until his wild nights threaten his day job, leaving Chad with a choice: prove he can settle down or kiss his dream goodbye. But when he ends up in the wrong bed, the one woman in Independence Falls he can't touch offers a tempting proposition. Chad is ready and willing to give in to the primal desire to make Lena his at night—on one condition. By day, they pretend their relationship is real.
But their connection extends beyond the bedroom, threatening to turn their sham into reality if Chad can prove he's the hero Lena needs night and day … forever.

Hero By Night Excerpt #1
She didn’t give an inch. And hell, he
liked that. Rocking back on his heels, Chad pretended to think. “What did you
do before? I might know someone who is looking.”
“It doesn’t matter,” she said. “I
can’t go back to it.”
“Being a model is that tough?” He
offered her a teasing look that he knew for a fact helped separate women from
their panties.
Lena raised an eyebrow. “I wouldn’t
know. And you can drop the sweet-talking act.”
“You’d prefer I talk dirty?” Chad
cocked his head, studying her. There it was. A spark of interest in her blue
eyes. But she hid it quickly.
“I’ve spent most of my life on army
bases. I’m betting you don’t have anything I haven’t heard before.”
So the drop-dead gorgeous, not-a-model
woman was a military brat? He took that tidbit and filed it away. He wanted to
know more about her—where she’d grown up, where she’d worked, if she screamed
during sex or maintained the calm control he was finding wildly attractive.
“I might use some of the same words,”
he said. “But they would have a different effect on you.”
“You’re that good with your words?”
“Yes. And that’s not the only thing
I’m good with.” He paused for a beat, expecting a laugh and hoping for a
breathy sigh. Nothing. Her face was an impartial mask. “So how about that
dance? I could whisper naughty things in your ear.”
“No.” The way she said that one word
sounded like a reflex.
“A walk under the stars?”
“Romantic, but I can’t.” She stepped
away even though he’d been careful not to move a muscle in her direction. “I
wish I could.”
This time her words were not a quick
dismissal. She said the word “wish” with the fervor of a kid looking up to the
stars and asking for a snow day in July. Hell, if there was one thing he
understood, it was wishing and hoping for things he couldn’t have.
His mother walking
through the front door to the farmhouse and admitting that leaving her family
had been a mistake … His dad seated beside him in a helicopter one last time …
“Can I ask you something?” Chad said.
She nodded. A strand of blond hair
fell across her face and he resisted the urge to brush it away. With any other
woman, he would not have thought twice about an innocent touch in a public
space. But he sensed Lena had boundaries that demanded respect.
“Where did you meet Georgia?”
“In therapy.”
The words, coupled with her
matter-of-fact tone, nearly knocked him on his ass.
“You’re a veteran. I never would have
guessed that one.”
“A little different from a model,” she
said with a small smile. “I was in the army. Until eighteen months ago.”
“The job you can’t go back to,” he
said, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.
She nodded, her blue eyes trained on
him as if tracking his movements. Had someone hurt her? The thought of it
pissed him off. Or had the time spent serving her country left her battle-scarred
on the inside? Either way, he wasn’t the man to fix her problems. He’d never
been drawn to wounded creatures.
Chad glanced at the dog. Whatever had
happened to her, Lena already had her hero. She didn’t need him. And he didn’t
want a woman in his life he couldn’t walk away from come sunrise. Or a woman he
couldn’t touch …
He looked up at the patio and spotted
another blonde. With her jeans and low-cut blouse, the other woman possessed
the same petite build as Lena. But there was nothing striking about her.
Looking at her didn’t leave him wanting to pull her hair, or hear his name on
her lips, never mind learn her secrets.
“She looks like fun,” Lena said.
Busted.
He glanced at the woman who made him
want to do all those things and more. “Sure you’re not?”
“I can be,” she said with a wry smile,
as if this bit of information was a carefully guarded secret. “But not the kind
you’re in the market for. Not tonight.”
“That’s a shame. I was looking forward
to whispering dirty things in your ear.”
