  NOT MY HERO by Michelle Heard Release Date: November 9th   Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48578538-not-my-hero     BLURB He walked into school on his first day and didn’t care what the other students thought of him. Dark. Broody. Dangerous. He didn’t care where I cared too much. Then the rumors started. He failed his senior year at his previous school. His brother committed suicide. It’s his fault. And for one blessed week, I wasn’t the topic of discussion. You see, I’m the daughter of a socialite who has no soul. I’m the one paying for her sins. They never let me forget where I come from, and she never stops telling me what a failure I am. But then Colton Lawson looks at me, and unlike the other student’s, his dark gaze seems to see through the lies spun around me. He starts appearing out of nowhere, fighting my battles for me only to stalk away, making me feel like I’m nothing but a nuisance. My name is Brie Weinstock, and this is my story of how a boy walked into my hell and fought for me, even though I never expected him to. The question is, am I strong enough to repay the favor? This is a high school romance that deals with sensitive subjects. Adult readers only.   EXCERPT There are no words to describe the chaos inside of me. It feels like a tornado just swept through me, only leaving devastation and death behind. The death of the last of my self-esteem.   Colton holds me for so long that by the time he pulls back, it’s like the sun is shining over what's left of the destruction. You can see every piece of debris scattered over an unrecognizable life.   And yet, there’s a smile playing around Colton’s lips, and as he stares at me, he whispers, “Thank you.”   I frown because I don’t understand why he’d say that.   “Thank you for letting me help you.” His voice is hoarse with emotion, and it makes the lump in my throat swell.   He opens the door and climbs out of the truck, so I do the same. I grab one bag while Colton gets the other, and then I turn to look at the Lawsons’ house.   Will this really be home from now on?   Can anywhere feel like home when I’m an outcast?           About the Author: Michelle Heard is a Wall Street Journal, and USA Today Bestselling Author who loves creating stories her readers can get lost in.
