Finding Nick - Janis Reams Hudson

THE RELUCTANT HERO

Injured New York firefighter Nick Carlucci had long ago retreated to quiet Tribute, Texas, determined to escape his demons. He was done with remembering-and feeling. And then beautiful reporter Shannon Malloy hunted him down-and got him back to doing both.

Shannon refused to let Nick avoid her. She was intent on unlocking the secrets he kept-secrets that tied in to her own painful past. But when the tenacious reporter finally gained full access to the elusive hero, would she get more than a story-say, maybe a one-way ticket to Nick' s heart?

Janis Reams Hudson has lived in California, Colorado,Texas, and Oklahoma. After a career in broadcast television, she decided to tackle the stories whirling around in her head. She focused her attention on writing. This took sacrifice. She sacrificed cooking and cleaning. Janis and her husband Ron live in Oklahoma City, where their dogs Pookie and Buttercup take them on daily walks.
