Some Kind of Hero
by Michelle Cary

Courage comes in many forms...

After serving his tour of duty in Iraq, Sergeant Derek Rison returns home to find his apartment—and his life—in ruins. Sitting in the back booth of a local diner, contemplating his options, Derek meets waitress Jordan Minx, a petite brunette with a sad smile and a big heart.

Well-intentioned Jordan offers him a place to sleep, but an accidental encounter in the bathroom lands them both in her bed. Derek discovers a woman with an insatiable appetite for sex and a secret to hide—her "boyfriend" blackmails her to be a toy for his group of kinky friends.

Bolstered by Derek's love, Jordan finds the courage to do the right thing. But the cost of freedom could be her life.

Michelle Cary's Bio

Always searching for the happy ending.

That pretty much sum's me up. I love anything romance and have been reading romance all of my life. A little over two years ago I quit my job to stay home with my children, but quickly discovered that although being home with them was a wonderful experience, I was bored. After watching one of those 'reality' television shows, I realized that I had a great idea for a story and here I am, two years later, back to work and writing in my spare time.

It isn't easy to keep up on the demands of a job, children, running a functioning household and dedicating time to my writing. Prioritizing has become a major part of my life (and learning to live on less sleep). My wonderful husband of 13 years is super supportive and my children (at least my older one) are proud of my accomplishments. I'm also a avid scrapbooker, which with everything else I have on my plate doesn't happen as often as I'd like.

My characters are complicated, difficult and never perfect, but the love they experience is deep, soulful and complete. From contemporary to erotic, my stories fall into several sub-genres, but are always romantic at their core. I hope that you'll enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.
