Hero Ever After

<p>I never meant to be anyone's heroine.</p><p></p><p>Not when I became the acting mayor of my hometown after the flood. Not when I kept my law practice afloat out of a booth in my grandmother's diner. And definitely not when my secret romantasy novels went viral.</p><p></p><p>Nobody in Gibson Hollow knows I'm the author behind the pen name. And nobody was supposed to kiss me at that book convention-<strong>least of all my brother's best friend cosplaying the hero he doesn't know I modeled after him.</strong></p><p></p><p>Now Ramsey Shaw is back in town. Volunteering. Smiling at me like I'm not on the verge of shattering. Like he remembers the kiss. Like he sees the truth.</p><p></p><p>I've spent my whole life being strong. Quiet. In control. But for the first time I don't want to be any of those things.</p><p>I just want to be his.</p><p></p><p><strong>In a town held together by hope and heart it's the people who show up that make it shine.</strong></p>
