“Proud Mary” by Hannah Brixton
If she’s too much, why can’t he get enough?
Sappy love stories weren’t written for women like tattoo artist Mary Medeiros. She’s too sensitive. Too stubborn. Too much. Single by choice at thirty-eight, she’s made a life on her own terms—and made peace with shutting most people out. If only she could shut out the insufferable firefighter who’s spent the last fourteen years needling her at every opportunity.
Fighting fires for a living didn’t stop Gus Shepherd’s dreams from going up in smoke. Divorced before thirty, he feels like a failure in hero’s clothing—the family man without a family of his own. On the outside, he’s the guy everyone relies on, but beneath the surface, he’s haunted by self-doubt… and a smoldering desire for the one woman who gets under his skin.
When Mary gets roped into house-sitting over Christmas on Gus’ uniquely festive cul-de-sac, it only reignites old frustrations—and getting snowed in together stirs those embers into a raging fire. But, as an unnerving string of arsons unfolds in small-town Lennox Valley, their tenuous connection may be what burns them both.
Proud Mary is the fourth and final book in the Lennox Valley Chronicles series. It’s a dislike-to-lovers, age-gap, holiday romantic dramedy featuring a golden retriever, sunshine MMC and a black cat, grumpy FMC with sensory processing disorder. It is written in dual POV/first person/present tense and includes several open-door/spicy scenes. With this mature content in mind, it is intended for readers aged 18 and up.
