Stepbrother Hero

Born In Texas Book 19

It would be easier to take a bullet for him than admit she loves him.

When Nico Antonov purchases a remote cattle ranch, he hopes to restore more than just fences and barns—he wants peace, purpose, and a new chapter. But when he stumbles across a crime scene on his property, he finds himself at the center of a dangerous game. He doesn’t know who to trust, until the woman he thought he lost walks back into his life.

Private security expert Becky Alford doesn’t hesitate to turn down a high-profile assignment to return to Nico’s side. Protecting the man she’s secretly loved for years is her top priority. But as danger creeps closer and her feelings grow stronger, she finds it harder to guard her heart while keeping him safe.

Moving romantic suspense with a gripping blend of courage, faith, and the kind of love worth risking everything for.

"Wow! What a ride! This story weaves family, suspense, danger, faith, love into one spell-binding story. It was hard for me to put the book down!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I really enjoyed Nico and Becky’s story. I love the way Jo shows faith as an important part of the character’s lives. It can be read as a stand alone, but when read in order, you have the back story of the other characters in the book. Can’t say enough good things about these books."

"Oh my! Instead of a rollercoaster ride, Jo has taken us on a supersonic plane ride with lots of turbulence! Nico and Betsy are secretly admirers of each other until danger helps to expose their true feelings! Jo’s talent brings her characters to life while reintroducing familiar faces from earlier books in this intriguing series. Threats, kidnappings, organ harvesting, and blackmail will cause you to lose sleep and keep you reading until you discover if Becky along with other family members are rescued. Lots of excitement, tears, and unforgettable moments will keep you on the edge of your seat! Another fantastic story by one of my favorite authors!"
