Right. Snippet time!
Ah, Heart of the Valley… I do adore this book so. I think Lachie is still my biggest and longest lasting hero-crush, although Tristan from April’s Rainbow is right up there, as is Jack from Elsa’s Stand.
Hero-crushes are one of things that no one warns you about romance writing but it can be an issue. Honest! It’s not the crush itself that’s the problem. It’s the moving on. How are we meant to fall in love with and write a new hero if we’re still in love with the old one? See? Issue!

Lachlan remained on his knees, watching her closely.
‘Better?’
She nodded, cheeks blooming with heat. She couldn’t remember ever experiencing a more embarrassing day.
He smiled. ‘I thought you said you looked really unattractive when you cried.’
‘I do.’
‘A bit tear-stained maybe, but I don’t think you could ever look unattractive.’
She stared at him. ‘Why are you being so nice?’
He shrugged. ‘Perhaps I just want to keep my job. It’s never smart to get on the wrong side of the boss’s sister.’
But Brooke didn’t believe him. This wasn’t about currying favour. Lachlan had gone out of his way and, she suspected, against his better judgement to help her. Strange behaviour for a man whose best interests lay in not helping.
