      Her Holiday Hero

      When Keely O’Toole returns home to Village Green, Colorado, she lands in a very unfamiliar role—as guardian to her cousin’s seven-year-old daughter. Keely loves little Felicity, but she’s in over her head. And the only person she can turn to for help is former army ranger Dr. Ethan Scott. Her best friend’s brother, a man she can hardly speak to without bickering. But when Keely and Ethan bond while taking care of Felicity, everything changes. Keely wants to give Felicity the best Christmas ever, and Ethan is just the person to light up their holidays...and their lives.

      “What…what are you doing?”

      The words came out a little breathless, egging him on in ways he couldn’t begin to describe. “Payback.”

      “Ethan, I’m warning you—”

      “Yeah, yeah, heard that before.” Blinking snow out of his eyes, he gave Flicka a sidelong glance. “Hey, kid, want to learn how to make a perfect snow angel?”

      “I do, I do, I do.”

      “Good news. Keely has agreed to demonstrate the proper technique.”

      She gasped. “Ethan, no. Don’t. I...I’m...”

      “You...you’re...what?”

      “Cold.” Keely said the word triumphantly, as if she’d come up with the last clue in a difficult crossword puzzle.

      “Nothing like a little physical activity to warm you up. Trust me on this,” he whispered in her ear. “I’m a doctor.”

      He hooked his foot around the back of her knees and, grinning, dumped her gently into the snow.

      Flat on her back, she gaped up at him three entire seconds. “You will pay for this.”

      It was both a challenge and a promise. The woman made him smile.

      RENEE RYAN grew up in a Florida beach town where she learned to surf, sort of. With a degree from FSU, she explored career opportunities at a Florida theme park and a modeling agency and even taught high school economics. She currently lives with her husband in Nebraska, and many have mistaken their overweight cat for a small bear. You may contact Renee at reneeryan.com, on Facebook or on Twitter, @ReneeRyanBooks.
