Elizabeth’s Hero

When a shocking accident takes the life of her best friend, Elizabeth Nelson flies to the rescue of the orphaned children, carrying a letter that grants her custody. Her friend's brother-in-law, gruff rancher Jack Summers, is already there, organizing the funeral and planning to take the children back to Montana. With separate legal claims and a concerned social worker looking on, the two strangers desperately search for a way to keep the children together. Their solution: Marriage. Elizabeth is willing to set aside her dull, empty life, in the hopes of having a family. Jack will do whatever it takes to ensure his ranch eventually passes to his brother's children. Will they find love in the bargain? As she settles into her new life, little oddities plague Elizabeth. She begins to question whether the plane crash that claimed her friend's life was really an accident. Jack and Elizabeth discover a mutual attraction, but will they recognize the love that's grown between them before another tragedy strikes?

Gina Coon resides in Southern California with her husband and children. When she isn’t writing she enjoys sewing and crafts, as well as volunteering at her church, scouts, and her kids’ schools. For more than a decade Gina was defined as a (crazy) homeschool mom. After retiring from homeschooling, she found herself at loose ends, unused to having time on her hands. As a little girl her head was filled with made up stories and that hasn’t changed. An avid reader, she’s always loved books and the idea of writing one. Deciding to capitalize on all those years of teaching and editing her sons’ essays, she quietly started a project. She had no idea if she’d produce a decent paragraph, let alone a whole story. Her first book, Elizabeth’s Hero, was a huge personal achievement that launched a love affair with writing. Her Christian faith is often reflected in her stories. The main characters are generally good people with strong values and, of course, there is always a happy ending!
