Forever Knight: St. John Sibling Series, Book 5

Gabrielle Vargas grew up an equestrian. Discipline her mantra, she has reached Olympian level. She doesn’t believe fun and responsibility mix, a lesson she learned when her parents divorced because her father loved playing more than working at The Joust, a medieval theme venue he bought with his wife’s inheritance.

Renn St. John grew up surrounded by crumbling castles and rehabbing broken and abandoned animals in the streets of Eastern Europe. Horses at the top of that list, he’s drawn to The Joust where he discovers stunt riding. On the surface, it’s everything an adventurous, fun-loving guy could want out of life. But Renn also wants what his siblings have, someone to share the happiness with.

When Gabrielle’s estranged father tells her he’s dying, she returns to The Joust only to learn all he wants is for her to take over his legacy and keep it alive. Gabrielle sees only a run-down business located on prime real estate. Give-up her life to serve her father’s dream, or sell the property and go onto Olympic glory? Easy choice until she meets Renn and chemistry strikes. Then again, maybe not so tough a choice as she sees Renn as just another man playing at boyish games like her father.

But something is rotten at The Joust. The numbers don’t add up. The business shouldn’t be failing. While Renn strives to heal a broken-hearted Gabrielle, she wonders if Renn can help her pull the business out of debt, or if the fun-loving knight might not be part of the problem. She doesn’t need fun, she needs answers.

Medieval themed venue, The Joust, is failing and Olympic level equestrian Gabrielle Varga questions whether stunt-riding knight Renn St. John is the problem or the solution.

Craving a Hero

Conservation Officer Kelly Jackson always said heroes were just ordinary people who did extraordinary things. Unfortunately, she didn’t believe there was any man out there who would do anything extraordinary for her. Not that she was looking for a mate. She was a woman focused on proving herself as a CO to the world and her father.

Then Dane St. John showed up in her little corner of world with the looks, the ego, and the charm to take him to the top as an up and coming movie action hero. He paid attention to her. He made her feel like a woman. He was the perfect fantasy tryst.

Too bad he turned out to be a whole lot more substantial than some airhead hunk and Kelly fell in love. Too bad because, in spite of his strong family values, his idea of having a family fell into the someday category; and history had taught Kelly, when a man isn’t ready for a family, he can’t be counted on. So, when she discovers their affair produced a baby, she doesn’t tell him because there are no heroes… not for her.

Kelly Jackson has always craved a hero; but Movie Action Hero, Dane St. John might be just too much of a fantasy for her.
