Heart of Valor by DJ Monroe

Two strong willed heroes. Two fiery tempers. Will their hearts go down in flames?
Valor Moretti is not happy to be home. In fact, he swore he’d never set foot in Patriot, Texas again. For years he’s traveled around the country as a freelance firearms instructor, happy to be anywhere but Glory Ranch. Now that he’s here and his inheritance is on the line, all he has to do is keep his temper and his cousins under control for the next year, and he’s home free.
He didn’t plan on the hot-headed, way-too-sexy Yankee renting the cottage out back, and he definitely didn’t plan on the kind of attraction that promised to set his heart on fire.
Kent Massey hates Texas. He hates the heat, he hates that slow drawl accent, and he hates that he’s trapped here for at least a month while he trains Patriot’s newest K-9 police officer. He especially hates his landlord – that man is a menace. Out shooting handguns at the crack of dawn, making Kent’s life miserable, and sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong. It’s enough to drive him crazy, especially when he discovers that he’ll be working with the guy. His only option is to deal with it, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it.
The two men are like fire and ice, oil and water. But when push comes to shove and real danger comes to Glory Ranch, they’ll have to set aside their differences and face their true feelings before somebody gets killed.
