Release Blitz: Her Hometown Hero by Melissa Klein




After losing her husband in the line of duty, Riley Logan looks for a fresh start in Magnolia Springs. However, a fear of rejection makes relationships difficult.

Lieutenant Colonel Brian Stone returns home from the Middle East after losing his legs to an IED. The last thing he wants is to be treated like a hero—or pitied for his injuries.

While working on a charity event, benefiting injured veterans, they find they have more in common than a talent for snarky comments. But when Brian is offered an opportunity too good to refuse, Riley must decide if she can risk losing another man to a dangerous job.

 
He couldn’t remember the last time someone had the balls to challenge him. Between his friends and family pussy-footing around—on top of the deference which came with rank, it had to have been well before the accident. He leaned forward, resting his palms on the table next to the cash box. “You got something to add?”
She shrugged.
No, go ahead, tell me what’s on your mind. Everyone else feels free to express their opinion.” He saw the baiting for what it was. Hell, he’d practically begged for someone to snap back when he growled, instead of treating him like he was made of spun glass.
She met his glare head on and held it, something few people dared do. “I was thinking you could benefit from Asses Anonymous.”
Really,” he prompted. Despite the vow he’d made that morning to steer clear of this intriguing woman, he obeyed the call. Especially as she continued to challenge him.
Sure. A twelve-step program might take the edge off all that sunshine and happiness you’ve been sharing today.”


 
From the time Melissa was old enough to hold a book, reading has been her favorite way to relax, dream, and sometimes escape.

That love of books led her to writing, where now she’s able to create her own worlds instead of just reading about them.

Following a career in the legal field and education, she devotes herself to writing stories about men and women who know what they want out of life and are not afraid to go after it.

She lives in Georgia with her family.

“Stupid. Beautiful. Girl.

How did you ever think you could be free?”


The last words I heard before the darkness took me and my dreams were shattered.


I was on my way to having it all.

Friends, family and a future.

Everything I had wished for but never thought possible.


Denham King showed me just how good life could be. A life where love and happiness were within reach.


Almost.


I should have known it would never last.

My past is a dark, damp cloud, that has seeped into my skin and left a cold promise.

A promise of hurt and pain.

A promise of a long, hard fight, where the stakes are high and the risks threaten lives.


When your world gets thrown in all directions, and your dreams for the future are torn from your grasp; how do you go on?


Can I fight the demons that haunt me?

Can love save me from fate’s cruel path?

“Arianna, dear. It’s nice to see you again.” Amy pushes past my shoulder, inviting herself in and taking ownership of the air around us. “Although, I wasn’t expecting to see so much,” she sneers, letting her eyes drift down the length of my legs. 

I stand tall, trying not to be intimidated by her, trying to stand my ground in my apartment, but instantly feeling threatened by the way her body reacts to me, and the way her gaze makes me feel cold and uncomfortable.


She lifts her hand toward me, and tucks a long, red, predatory nail under the collar of the white shirt I am wearing, lifting it between her fingertips and gently brushing against my collarbone through the fabric as she does. It sends chills through me. She’s cold. Her aura, her demeanor, and her intentions are all icy and it radiates from her in steady pulses.


“I bet he likes you in this. I bet he asked you to wear it, am I wrong?”

Of course, she’s not wrong. She’s pretty much as correct as can fucking be. I swallow hard. Shards of her persona stick into me like little icy pins. Her words, like little needles of reality, stab into my veins. She knows him better than I do. She knows what he likes, and what he doesn’t. Has he asked her to wear his shirt for him?


Has he told her to dress in nothing but heels and diamonds for him?
The thoughts make me feel sick. But, I know that she’s playing me. I've seen Denham’s reaction to her. I’ve seen the contempt in his eyes when her name is mentioned, and I’ve felt the tension radiate from him when he encounters her. She’s a bitch. Pure and simple.
