Rocky Top
What are you going to do when a woman has a thing about goodbyes? Miguel Rios winked at her, rescued two orphans, built a bouquet, then he killed a guy.
All Rocky wanted was to fly her plane and put strangers up at her B&B. And maybe forget her dead lover. Or find new ways to remember him.
People called her cantankerous; she called herself independent. Rochelle was her real name. Rocky Top, she’d earned, because, apparently, she was hardheaded.
Then Miguel Rios came to town with his smooth ways and velvet voice and sweet talk and siesta frame of mind. He made her forget to hurry up. He made her forget to be sad. Worse than that, he made her want him.
All Miguel wanted was to fly, and maybe find a nice, quiet, mild-tempered woman to love. He didn’t know the job flying for the Rocky Top B&B was non-paying. Or that he’d crash his boss’s plane. Or that he’d happen upon two eight-year-old orphans in the middle of the forest. Or that so many people would be trying to kill them all. Or that what he really wanted was Rocky Lyon.
