Heart of a Hero
by Marie Ferrarella

HER BABY HAD BEEN KIDNAPPED

Former Las Vegas showgirl Dakota Armstrong was desperate when her son was stolen from her. He'd been taken by one of the most dangerous men in Nevada, and she had little hope of recovering him by herself. When handsome and charming Russell Andreini of ChildFinders, Inc., promised to find the boy, Dakota insisted on helping him. But while they fought to save her son, she found herself fighting a different battle---against a powerful attraction she was not ready for.Russell was determined to show Dakota that he could protect her son---and her. And to convince her that she needn't fear the passion that sizzled between them. He would willingly risk his life;could she find the courage to risk her heart?

Marie Ferrarella's Bio

Born in West Germany, arrived in the U.S. at four, I began writing when I was eleven. I began selling many years after that. Along the way, I acquired a Masters in Shakespearean Comedy from Queens College in N.Y, a husband and two kids (in that order)---the dog came later. My first romance was bought by Second Chance At Love November of 1981. The road from there to here has a hundred and thirty-seven more sales to it. I've been published by Silhouette, Harlequin, Zebra, Harper, Bantam and Berkeley. I've been fortunate enough to have received several Rita nominations from the Romance Writers of America Association over the years, with one win for Father Goose (in the Traditional Romance Category). I've also been nominated several times in various categories by Romantic Times Magazine. I hope to be found one day---many, many years from now---slumped over my computer, writing to the last moment. But before then, I would dearly love to write a successful screenplay. My goal has always been to entertain. Entertainment Weekly 2015 named me the fifth most prolific romance author of all time---and I have since moved up to the fourth position, having published 296 works.
