THE DETERMINED VIRGINMimi Pickford wanted her life to be more than serving up daily specials at the local diner. But the one man who could help her achieve her secret dream had suddenly dropped out of sight. Elusive hero Gibson St. James was known for rescuing babies from burning buildings–and for wearing his bachelorhood like a badge.

“I saw you that night.” “I saw you that night.” “What night?” “The night of the fire. I saw it on television, and I knew you were a hero and—” “Don’t ever call me a hero,” he said softly but darkly. He took a deep breath, ignoring the pain in his injured ribs. “Listen, Little Miss Sunshine, being a firefighter isn’t what you think.

Gibson growled. If there were any way he could get her out of his house, he would. But as he tested his capacity to stand one more time, the pain shooting through his body let him in on the bitter truth: He couldn’t do a darned thing about Mimi Pickford.
