I can't wait to see what happens next. I highly recommend it to all fans of romance, military, family, and series." ~emilyk52281
BENNETT
HC Heroes Series - Book 15
"...Donna is a pro at writing men I can fall in love with and women I want as my best friends. Bennett and Laurel have an instant attraction to one another. Throw in some drama, suspense, and a sexy man ready to protect the woman he's found to be too tempting and stubborn for her own good, and you've got the perfect recipe for a five-star romance." ~The Redheads Book Blog
"Bennett and Laurel are now among some of my all time favorite couples! Bennett is a true HC Hero as is Laurel. I truly enjoyed reading Bennett and can’t wait to see what happens next in Harland County!" ~TeeAnn Kemm
"I enjoy this book for banter between Bennett and Laural, the humor provided by the other guys from ESI and the caring from the girlfriends and wives from the ESI. The suspense was great as usual and would highly recommend this series which is Harland County Heroes." ~Alice Chaffin
"Such a great book. The story keeps you reading wondering what will happen next. The hero is gruff at first but they always are till they fall in love. The other charters in the book are so full of humor. Just lovee reading Donna's books." ~Sandy Davidson Scheer
eBOOK:
Grumpy protector meets sassy waitress… and the sparks are hotter than the coffee.
​
Laurel Sinclair didn’t expect to become a short-order cook, but when her Aunt Annie needs help running Annie’s Diner in Harland, Texas, she couldn’t say no. Serving up burgers, sweet tea, and the occasional slice of unsolicited small-town gossip is a far cry from her old life, and that’s just the way she likes it. No drama, no danger—just pancakes and peace.
But peace is officially off the menu when strange things start happening. A break-in. Cryptic notes. And the unsettling feeling that someone is watching her. At first, Laurel chalks it up to overactive imagination—until she’s threatened.
Enter Bennett Vaughn—former military, now employed with Eagle Security and Investigations. He’s new to Harland, doesn’t do small talk, and has all the charm of burnt toast. But when Aunt Annie strong-arms him into looking out for Laurel (because no one argues with Aunt Annie), he finds himself knee-deep in diner drama, a growing list of suspects, and one exasperating, entirely too tempting woman.
Laurel insists she can take care of herself. Bennett insists she’s terrible at it. And when the danger escalates, the grumpy protector and the stubborn waitress will have to work together—before the next thing served at Annie’s Diner is revenge.

This series can be read and enjoyed in any order but you get more out of the backstories by reading in order.
"The dialog in these stories is so relatable it's like I'm sitting with my friends sharing a conversation. It tends to make me forget I'm reading fiction. So much fun!!" ~Kindle Customer
"...I am convinced that this is one of Ms. Micheals best series. From page one forward you will be intrigued. Alpha men are just scrumptious, when written about because they are always the most honest caring individuals in the book. Some writers don't follow this rule, but Donna Micheals follows it to a "T" Read this series if you just want to swoon!!!" ~Linda C
