Mr. Pierce's Hero -- Pike's Run Series -- Book 12
Corinne Taylor has a secret. And it must be protected. If her mother, the self-proclaimed queen of Pike's Run, discovered what Corinne has been hiding for twelve years, Hell will not describe the place in which Corinne will find herself.
Jonathan Pierce arrived in Pike's Run after leaving Sacramento in disgrace. He finds solace in the company of his former boss while he debates settling down in the small town and taking up a law practice once more.
Despite Corinne's efforts, her mother learns what she's hidden for over a decade. Beulah Taylor is determined to take over the magnificent rose garden Corinne has cultivated, intent on adding it to her collection of "Taylor Contributions". Corinne is devastated and scared to fight the "Tyrant of Pike's Run", who also happens to be her mother. But if she doesn't, she will lose the only thing that has ever made her proud.
Knowing he's a former lawyer, Corinne enlists the help of Jonathan Pierce and goes to war with Beulah. It is a fight for which the town is eager but afraid to watch. And it is one Jonathan cannot shy away from no matter how hard he tries. The lawyer has his own battle: not to fall in love with the most courageous person he's ever met. If Corinne Taylor, the woman who is fast capturing his heart, learns of the cowardice living inside him, she would turn away from him, killing any hope he has left.
