Finding Nick — Janis Reams Hudson

THE RELUCTANT HERO

Injured New York firefighter Nick Carlucci had long ago retreated to quiet Tribute, Texas, determined to escape his demons. He was done with remembering -- and feeling. And then beautiful reporter Shannon Malloy hunted him down -- and got him back to doing both.

Shannon refused to let Nick avoid her. She was intent on unlocking the secrets he kept -- secrets that tied in to her own painful past. But when the tenacious reporter finally gained full access to the elusive hero, would she get more than a story -- say, maybe a one-way ticket to Nick's heart?
