Hometown Fall

The summer sunshine is fading, the leaves are changing color, apples and pumpkins are ready for picking, and in this pair of romantic novellas from two bestselling authors set in the close knit small towns local heroes call home, love is in the crisp fall air . . .

WOUNDED HEART * DIANA PALMER
Fired from her job with a homecare agency, Tia Mason is back to waiting tables at a local coffee shop, and she’s got Colt Trent to blame. After his return home to Colorado from the army, Colt found Tia working as an aide for his wealthy father and wrongly pegged her as a gold-digger. But once his father sets him straight—and Tia becomes the target of a dangerous admirer—Colt’s protective instincts kick in. Suddenly he’s inspired to overcome his wounds, physical and emotional. And despite the chill of fall, both their hearts just might begin to warm . . .

LOVING THE HOMETOWN HERO * KATE PEARCE
F.B.I. agent Dane Mclure is back home in his Northern California small town, healing after a shooting incident. Nothing’s changed, including Daisy, the girl next door, the one he loved and lost—and who still wants nothing to do with him. But when strange, threatening events start occurring at Daisy’s house, she reluctantly turns to Dane for help. Despite her wounded heart there’s something about him that still draws her, a quiet strength that she needs. Maybe in this season of change, she and Dane can not only discover who’s targeting her, but also reignite the passion neither of them has found with anyone else . . .
