Nobody's Hero
Why can't everybody just leave him alone? All Sean Rafferty wants is solitude to recover from a gunshot wound. That's why he's here on Maine's isolated Osprey to heal and move on. But how can he face going back to being a Massachusetts state police officer since he's sworn off ever playing hero again?
Unfortunately, Sean can't avoid heroics when neighboring Connie Bradford's daughter keeps getting into trouble. And the fiercely independent Connie makes it clear she doesn't need a rescuer— reluctant or otherwise. The mother-and-daughter antics make his solitude seem almost too quiet. Despite himself, Sean finds this pair wrestling their way into his heart…as if they belong there.

About the author
Carrie Alexander
101 books48 followersThere was never any doubt that Carrie Antilla would have a creative career. As a two-year-old, she imagined dinosaurs on the lawn. By six it was witches in the bedroom closet. Soon she was designing elaborate paper-doll wardrobes and writing stories about Teddy the Bear. Eventually she graduated to short horror stories and oil paints. She was working as an artist and a part-time librarian when she "discovered" her first romance novel and thought, "Hey, I can write one of these!" So she did.
Carrie Alexander is now the author of several books for various Harlequin lines, with many more crowding her imagination, demanding to be written. She has been a RITA and Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice finalist, but finds her greatest reward in becoming friends with her readers, even if it's only for the length of a book.
Carrie lives in the upper peninsula of Michigan, where the long winters still don't give her enough time to significantly reduce her to-be-read mountains of books. When she's not reading or writing (which is rare), she is painting and decorating her own or her friends' houses, watching football, and shoveling snow. She loves to hear from readers, who can contact her by e-mail: carriealexander1@aol.com

Hero is a divorced cop on leave to recover from getting shot. Heroine is a widowed landscaper staying in a New England resort area to landscape some rich clients' beach home, including a hedge maze. Heroine's daughter is playing "Harriet the Spy" only more as a private detective. The child follows the hero around, gets caught and that's how hero and heroine meet. It's a nice story about second chances, with a very minor mystery tucked in. Enjoyed this one. Nice story.

A cute story about second chances with a bit of mystery swirled in.
