The Reluctant Hero

About this book

Alison Perry arrives in historic Cimarron, Oklahoma, with dreams of converting a Victorian house into a bed and breakfast. But the young widow and her four-year-old son soon discover their house's charms are only siding deep. The foundation is cracked, the wiring is frayed, the plumbing leaks and local legend has it that the house is "haunted." When she confronts the man who sold her the house, darkly handsome FBI agent Stefan Yale, he infuriatingly refuses to investigate. But she doesn't give up and eventually he spends a night at the inn to do some "ghost-busting." Though neither is ready for a romance, they cannot deny the strong attraction between them. Soon, Alison realizes there is something even more frightening than the strange noises in her house: She has fallen for a man unwilling to take risks with his heart. CATEGORY: Sweet romance.
