FIVE SECRETS OF A TORTURED ALPHA HERO

Do you love a fictional tortured hero?   In my western anthology, Wearing the Rancher's Ring,  from Western Winter Wedding Bells, Cooper Garnett is struggling with life without his family.  He's on a mission to find their killer.  I'll let you in on five secrets he's holding back from Rachel, the woman who has nursed his life-threatening injuries. 

1. He's not really as tough as he lets on.

2. He won't tell Rachel the real reason he has come to Cedar Flat, California.

3. He can hardly bear to be around Rachel's young son

Johnny - the reminder of the son he lost is too difficult. 

4. He's afraid to feel anything for Rachel and Johnny, yet

he'd die to protect them.

5. He's sure he can kill a man in cold blood out of vengeance, until that day finally arrives.  

Here's my idea of what Cooper Garnett might look like. What do you think?  Do you want to know his secrets?
