Donna Michaels | Well-meaning, Over-protective Older Brother

blogpinterestgoodreadsfacebooktwitter
Thank you so much for hosting me today to talk about my new release, HER SECRET RANGER. Fans of The Men of At Ease Ranch series have already met the hero, Brick Mitchum, brother to the hero in book one, IN A RANGERโ€™S ARMS. They also, sort of met the heroineโ€”the green-eyed girl he started to see in the next town. What he doesnโ€™t know is that she is his Ranger buddy, Cordโ€™s kid sister, Elizabeth. And we come to find out Beth doesnโ€™t know Brick is one of her brotherโ€™s Army buddies, either.

How is that possible? Her well-meaning, over-protective older brother, thatโ€™s
how. Cord has always called his sister Lizzie, while others call her Beth. And
Cord never mixed his family with his military family, so she never met his
friends and didnโ€™t even know their real names. He always referred to them by
their Rifle Squad nicknames. So she and Brick never met before, and by the time
she puts two and two together, itโ€™s too late. Sheโ€™s already falling for him. I
had a little bit of fun with it.

As you can see, her older brother unintentionally set her on this crazy deceptive path. Beth is finally reaching goals she set for herself, and doing that without her over-protective brotherโ€™s help. The fact he never wanted her to date a military man makes it that much harder to come clean with both men, still she does intend to, but secrets have a way of catching up to you. This story was a hoot to write, and I hope youโ€™ll check it out. If you want to be kept in the loop of my new releases, and to participate in exclusive contests, join my Newsletter.

Thanks for reading,
~Donna

This is a different take on this trope and I like it! Thanks!
