Operation Day Care
Highly skilled combat veteran and former rodeo star Rex Trainor likes to be in the thick of the action. So when he’s loaned out to Homeland Security, he plans to bide his time until he can get back to the real war. He doesn’t, however, plan on Sierra Daniels, a local day-care giver whose pretty smile hides a stubborn streak more daunting than Wyoming’s Beartooth Mountains. When tragedy nearly strikes the kids in Sierra’s care, Rex vows to expose the culprit. Rex hasn’t failed on a mission yet, and protecting the desirable Miss Daniels is no exception!

Sierra backed away. “I have to ask you not to do that again.”
He nodded. “Agreed. It wouldn’t be a good idea for you to get involved with me. I won’t be around for long and, despite our little charade, I’m not very good boyfriend material.”
Sierra hadn’t expected him to agree with her so quickly. Disappointment filled her chest. Pushing back her shoulders, she lifted her chin. Why should she care? He’d only confirmed her desire to avoid anything sticky growing between them. Still…
He turned and walked toward the door.
Before he crossed the threshold, she asked, “Why?”
He stopped and half turned toward her. “Why what?”
“Why do you make bad boyfriend material?” She shouldn’t be interested in his answer, but she was and she waited for his response.
He shook his head, a hint of a smile tilting his lips. “Trust me. I’m no good for you, or any other woman.” With that, he walked out of the room and shut the door.

This book is dedicated to my grandmother who, at the
age of 97, is still fighting to stay in this world. After a
broken back, she powered her way through physical
therapy to make it back home from rehab for
Thanksgiving. She’s a fighter and I hope to have as
much gumption as she does when I’m 97!
