      He saved her life...

      But he’s not the hero she expects

      Dana Sothern has finally found the man who rescued her as a teen. But when she tries to thank Matt Rodriguez, instead he challenges her to volunteer at his youth camp. The experience brings Matt and Dana closer. But away from the camp, the reformed bad boy’s and the corporate lawyer’s worlds are far apart. Can they bridge the gap between them?

      Writing has been a passion for JANICE CARTER from a young age, but her “second” career after teaching didn’t officially start until she took a romance-writing course at a local community college. The story she began then became her debut novel, a Mills & Boon Intrigue. Janice says she’s been very lucky to be able to do what she enjoys most—writing about the connections between people and their families; in other words, how we find love and romance.

      Dana dived under the water, coming up inches away from him.

      Her teeth were chattering as Matt drew her close. He held her against him until she stopped shivering, then gently eased her back far enough to be able to lower his face to hers. Her lips were soft and full and sweet.

      She pulled back abruptly and gave an embarrassed laugh. “I’m ready to get out.”

      Matt watched her jump through the water onto the shore where she bent down to get her towel. By the time he waded to the beach she’d spread out the blanket.

      Matt hoped his impulsive kiss wouldn’t change the easygoing connection that had sprung up between them. He liked this slow unfolding of common interests and shared experiences and didn’t want to jeopardize it.

      But Dana’s life had been cushioned from the hard realities of the lives of many in Chicago. How would she react to the real Matt Rodriguez? Would he still be a hero in her eyes?

      Dear Reader,

      Her Kind of Hero is my second Heartwarming and my thirteenth Harlequin romance novel. I call it my “lucky” thirteen because I feel lucky to have the opportunity to write stories of people connecting with one another, with family and community.

      But this book is particularly special to me. When my children were young and before I returned to full-time work, I was involved in a number of community organizations as a volunteer and a board member. Those experiences were enriching and gave me an appreciation of the importance of community work not only at the local level, but to society as a whole.

      This book is special for me in another way, too. The frightening incident that brought my heroine, Dana Sothern, together with her hero, Matt Rodriguez, was partially based on a news article and a long-ago personal experience of mine. I speculated how a narrow escape, such as the one Dana and Matt had, might lead to a new direction in a person’s life. For Dana and Matt, the repercussions and personal revelations of a terrifying moment on a subway platform led to new beginnings for both of them. And also to something totally unexpected—love.

      Enjoy the read!

       Janice Carter

      For Sybil Jean Best, with much love.
