      Her Unexpected Hero

      Sawyer Buchanon was against hiring Jade Warren. The escalating threats against his family’s construction business—and Sawyer in particular—don’t warrant the time and money spent on a private investigator. Even if Jade’s smart, beautiful and challenging in a way that intrigues him. Jade has personal reasons to mistrust any Buchanon—especially one as handsome and smooth as Sawyer. But everything she’s been led to believe about the successful Buchanons crumbles in the face of Sawyer’s decency and sweetness. And the closer Jade gets to Sawyer, the more intense her feelings for him become. Soon the biggest risk she’ll face is having Sawyer steal her heart.

      No female was impervious to Sawyer Buchanon.

      Except Jade. Even if he had a kind side, and he did, and even if she found him attractive—and who wouldn’t?—he was a Buchanon. And her maiden name was on his father’s naughty list.

      He spotted her inside the dim room with the baby and raised both palms in a comical, supplicating gesture.

      “What’s this? You’ve ditched me for a younger man?”

      “His toothless grin was irresistible.”

      Sawyer paused for one second as if her banter caught him off guard. She knew he considered her humorless and cold, which was for the best, but she wasn’t always that way.

      Crossing the room, Sawyer swooped Ashton into his arms. “You ready? Where’s the squirt’s bag?”

      She reached for the backpack but Sawyer beat her to it, swung it over his opposite shoulder, and they headed out for the day.

      The sight of the man with a baby in his tanned, muscled arms tugged at Jade’s insides. He was a puzzle she couldn’t fit into her tidy mental box.

       Dear Reader,

      As I finish up the Buchanon series with Sawyer’s story, I hope you’ve enjoyed our time together in Gabriel’s Crossing, Texas. Like most families, the Buchanons have their share of troubles but their Christian faith and family loyalty hold them together.

      I set the Buchanon series in what is known locally as Texoma or Texoma Land, the Red River border area where Oklahoma and Texas meet. Though many people think of these states as flat, dry plains, Texoma is a beautiful area of forests, lakes, mountains and friendly small towns. If you ever have a chance to visit Texoma in the autumn, the scenery will take your breath away and the warm people will leave you with a smile.
