Tyler — Donna Michaels

Wrong place, wrong time. An accident took Navy pilot, Tyler Ty Bryson from Top Gun to civilian and engaged to single in a blink of an eye. Although he was grateful to work security with some of his brother's military buddies, he missed the sky. Flying is in his blood and since he comes from a family of overachievers, being grounded is tough. He's having a hard time finding his footing, until a grey-eyed beauty bumps into him and effectively knocks the massive chip off his shoulder. New place, about time. Four years ago, Piper Monroe lost her husband, along with her creativity. Coming from an artistic family, she is still struggling to find her muse, until a friend of her sister invites her down to Texas. Enticed by a change in scenery, Piper leaves the Poconos to open an art studio in Harland County. She never expected the locals to be so friendly or for her wine and painting classes to be such an instant hit. But the biggest surprise is plowing into her hot neighbor while trying to avoid getting run over by an out-of-control car. Right place, right time. Piper's zest for life, despite her losses, fills Ty with admiration, while her smiles, sweet kisses, and soft sighs have him throttling higher than any adrenaline-fueled danger zone. Their friendship, passion, connection…he's never felt anything so right in his life, so when Piper is nearly run over a second time, Ty vows to keep her safe and take down the bogey gunning for the woman he loves.
