About this ebook
Captain Simon Brevard loved the Air Force and flying fighter jets, until his world was turned upside down. His sister and her husband were killed in a car accident, and now he was the guardian to his one year old niece, Emma. Without a question, he accepted the role to being her father and changed his life completely. While dealing with the grief of losing the only family he had, he was determined to make sure that Emma would lack for nothing, including love. So now he was living on a small farm in Indian Springs, Nevada, and instead of flying he was teaching. In the midst of all the changes in his life, there was Leila Hayes, Emma’s pediatrician and his sister’s close friend. Together they shared the sadness of loss and found the first strands of love. Simon never knew love before he met Leila, and when he finds out the secret that she kept, it could join them together as a family or break them apart.

My Daddy Is a Hero 4 (Captain Simon Brevard) - Dahlia Rose
Chapter One
It takes only a few seconds for a person’s life to completely change. That was his thought when his life was turned upside down. Captain Simon Brevard was a veteran at being a fighter pilot. He’d been deployed multiple times including the very first incursion into Iraq and Afghanistan and flown in some of the worse battles. Regularly the commander of the air craft carrier called him in to show the young guys who liked to hot dog how it’s done. He was in the middle of showing them all up and laughing at it. One minute he is in a training flight with some new flyboys of the Air Force. Next he was being called in to land and shown into the commander’s office on the USS John F. Kennedy. The news floored him, he couldn’t comprehend it for the longest time. His sister, her husband both dead in a head on collision with a drunk driver and his niece, that he only knew from pictures, was now alone except for him.
Knowing how he grew up with only him and his sister living with an evil aunt who terrorized them until she died. There was no way he was going to let Emma be raised by anyone else but him. Spurred on by that knowledge and in the midst of grief, he sprung into action. He was offered leave time because of his Captain bars and because he very rarely took any vacation. Now for the next three months he would be making a home for Emma and he was transferring to being a flight trainer at Creech Air Force Base. In only a matter of hours after he heard the news he was picking up his niece from social services. She was so tiny in his arms, one year old and looking up at him with so much trust and love in her eyes. So alone, he thought and then shook his head. No not alone. She had him and he would never fail her. His sister Angie was fair skinned, almost alabaster, and Emma’s skin was tanned or olive. It was probably because of her father’s Mediterranean heritage; Stefan was of Greek descent and grew up in the Greek islands for most of his life. There would be paperwork and other things to take care of but he knew Angie and Stefan had given him guardianship of Emma in their will in case the worst happened.
There was a rush of activity as he planned a funeral and tried to settle into his sister’s farmhouse that was now his home. There were crops: corn, soybeans, tomatoes and potatoes on the fifty-acre farm. There was a head farmhand named Jim that he met when he took Emma home. He knew the run of the place and after a discussion, Jim would run the farm aspect and Simon would take care of the books, payroll and the like. He liked the older guy who talked about his sister like she was an angel and his brother in law like a best friend. He and the farmhand would be good friends. He barely had time to do anything but take care of things that his brother–in-law left.
But at night when the house was quiet, he held Emma as she fussed her for mom and dad. She may have been only one and while she couldn’t verbalize it, the baby was feeling the loss of her parents. They probably had a routine and now everything was different for her. He walked her up and down the house all night until she settled and he finally crashed on the couch with her sleeping on his chest. When the grief of loss took hold of him and crushed his heart like a fist, he hugged the baby tighter and tried to feel his family through her. He’d stayed away too long and missed out on so much. He hadn’t even spoken to his sister for six months before she passed.
The funeral was a somber affair. Spring rain fell, misting the flowers and the matching coffins that stood in the center of the crowd. He held Emma in his arms and kept her dry under an umbrella. It seemed everyone in the small farming town knew Angie and Stefan. Even the farm hands showed up looking clean and neat. One woman kept looking at him and Emma throughout the graveside ceremony. She was dressed a sleek black dress and carried a small umbrella. Tears streaked her ebony cheeks and her chocolate brown eyes were filled with such loss. Her lips trembled and even in his sadness he felt as if he should hold her, console her somehow. She was a gorgeous woman. Even in the midst of all their sadness he couldn’t help noticing that aspect. After it was over and he accepted condolences, she was the last to come up. Emma looked at her and squealed in delight holding out her hands to be held.
May I?
Her voice was husky and feminine. He liked the sound instantly.
She seems to know you,
Simon said but held on to Emma possessively even as she wiggled in his arms.
I’m her pediatrician and your sister’s best friend. My name is Leila Hayes, but please call me Leila,
she said with a small smile. Don’t worry Captain Brevard, I wont steal her from you.
Simon let the baby go to her and watched as she hugged the baby girl tight and buried her face against her. Don’t worry sweetheart. I miss her too.
There it was again, that ache, like a fist in his chest, and he closed his eyes for a moment willing it away. He looked at Leila and
