Summary
 

When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds, inside and out. At his sisters’ B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. But quiet time isn’t easy when a fiery woman explodes into his life…

It’s business—not pleasure—that brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, Mia clashes immediately with the brooding Ethan. Everything about him is irritating—from his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk.

But as the summer unfolds and temperatures rise, Ethan and Mia discover how much they have in common: their guarded histories, an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts. But will their pasts threaten their fragile chance at a brand-new future?

Interview with Heroine Mia Thrush from Author Jennifer Probst‘s THE START OF SOMETHING GOOD 
 
1) Greetings Mia! Welcome to Bookhounds. Can you tell us a little about yourself? 
 
Absolutely. I’m the head of Strategy Solutions PR and my current client is the prospective mayor of New York. I adore everything about New York City and I have a passion for designer shoes and clothes. 
 
2) As true workaholic, what brought you to public relations? 
 
My father was ruined in his political career by untruths, and if he had the right PR representative, I think the election would have turned out differently. I’m extremely selective about my clients, and dedicate myself to helping them reach their potential without being smeared by social media. My work is my passion and I dedicate my all. 
 
3) What is the best part of your job? The worst? 
 
The best part is helping a person who doesn’t deserve to be picked apart by the world unfairly. The worst is seeing the amount of ugliness in the world and how too many people are thrilled by tearing down others in a vicious manner. 
 
4) You’ve got an unusual assignment this summer. What can you tell us about your plans?
Sigh. I cannot believe this is happening. My client’s daughter has been mandated to community service this summer at an upstate B&B and horse rescue farm. Of course, she needs supervision, and I’ve been selected to be her full-time babysitter so my client doesn’t lose the election. I’m terrified I’m going to be bored out of my mind and trapped in country hell. 
 
5) You are pretty much forced to spend ‘downtime’ at a rural B&B. What catches your attention in the country? 
 
I will say the food is outstanding. Fresh, local produce and tempting desserts that I must avoid at all costs in order to get into my new Gucci dress. The Robin’s Nest B&B is also quite charming, and Ophelia is a lovely hostess. Surprisingly, I’m beginning to enjoy the townspeople too, and have been helping the local businesses ramp up their marketing plans. 
 
6) What can you tell us about Ethan? 
 
Horse man? Well, at first I thought he was rude and mean and his personality sucked. I didn’t even care if he was a bit hot with that scruffy beard and piercing baby blues and a drool worthy muscled body. But, eventually, I realized there was so much more beneath the surface. He’s a man of honor and integrity. He’s kind. He takes care of what belongs to him, and you can trust him completely. To be honest, I’ve never met a man like him before…
 
7) You two don’t really get along too well at first. What is it about him that rubs you the wrong way? 
 
Well, he made fun of my designer suits and shoes, and ordered me to get out of his barn just because I let a horse go free. He was a judgmental ass, and I told him that many times. 
 
8) What happens to change the way you feel about him? 
 
He began to share his story with me, and I watched him in his environment. He took care of his sisters, the horses, and Chloe. He tries to hide his soft heart with a lot of bluster and stubbornness but I began to spot the truth. He’s a man a woman can fall for and know she’ll always be loved and safe. That’s the hottest thing of all. 
 
9) And finally, did you ever imagine you’d be in a position where a tiny farm in the middle of nowhere would be more enticing than NYC? 
 
Are you kidding? I feel like I dropped into the Twilight Zone! I love everything about the Bishop family farm and this town that I’ve come to treasure. Who would’ve believed I’d fall in love with the man I hated on sight, and Hei Hei – the monster chicken who scared me to death? Life is full of detours and hidden paths. I’m just lucky I found mine.
