Caitlin's Hero — Donna Gallagher

League of Love Series

They may be rugged gladiators of the modern world, playing the sometimes brutal sport of Rugby League, but-just like the gladiators of old-they are loyal and noble men. They are the stars of the Jets Rugby League team, loyal men who lead by their actions, not just words. Men who show love and respect, standing together as one to protect those they care about. And for the women they love, no desire is left unfilled. The men and women of the Jets live and love with passion and pride.

Caitlin's Hero by Donna Gallagher

Book one in the League of Love Series

Falling for him is easy. Dealing with his high-profile life -- a life deemed public property by his fans and the press, plus an ex-wife out for blood -- now, that's the hard part.

Twenty-year-old Caitlin Walters was living a normal life. She attended university, socialised a little and had a good relationship with her mother and stepfather. But when her parents are tragically killed in a car accident, Caitlin's life is forced to change. The once carefree girl becomes sole guardian of her stepbrother. Giving up her university course to support and raise eleven-year-old Riley, Caitlin struggles to deal with her new responsibilities.

Her job, singing at a local Italian restaurant, brings Caitlin some peace. On stage, she leaves her life and its troubles behind. Feeling comfortable and sensuous, she is like a siren calling out to lost souls. It's on one of these nights that Caitlin begins a romance with Australian Rugby League captain, Brodie James. Brodie, not content with his so-called perfect life and struggling with commitment issues following a disastrous marriage, falls hard for Caitlin.

The relationship does not run smoothly for the self-sacrificing Caitlin, as she learns how to deal with Brodie's nasty, jealous ex-wife, a muck-raking reporter and intrusive but well-meaning rugby fans. Along the way she makes new friends, and awakens the untapped sensual desires of the woman inside.

About the Author:

Sydney-born Donna Gallagher decided at an early age that life needed be tackled head on. Leaving home at fifteen, she supported herself through her teen years. In her twenties she married a professional sportsman, her love of sport -- especially rugby league -- probably overriding her good sense.

The seven -- year marriage was an adventure. There were the emotional ups and downs of having a husband with a public profile in a sometimes glamorous but always high -- pressure field. There were always interesting characters to meet and observe, and even the opportunity to live for a time in the UK.
