"An engaging relationship drama"
Oscar nominee Hollywood hotshot Zane MacAllister is tired
of the downside cost of fame especially when his former
girlfriend pregnant Kelly Mason committed suicide after
begging him to come back to her. He decides he needs to
escape the glitter and relook his life as the so called
All American male. However, to escape his myriad of fans
and the media who appreciate distorting his life with wild
unfounded rumors, he will need a masquerade. Zane's two week trek so far leads him to a dilapidated
shack in the Smoky Mountains and emaciated Roan O'Hara.
She has vowed to spend the winter in this forbidden
place. Her spirit touches him and he decides to join
her. As they become acquainted in their isolation, they
fall in love, but both has secrets that once revealed
could end their solace in heartburn especially when the
outsiders find the vanished heartthrob. A REAL HERO is an engaging relationship drama that stars
two wounded individuals who need loving hugs, but are wary
to reach out for even a handshake. The adjustment from
suspicious minds to lovers is cleverly handled by Jean
Brashear. Zane and Roan are a delightful couple who the
audience will hope can overcome their demons in each
other's arms. Harriet Klausner

SummaryA man who can't walk away from trouble—
and a woman who's nothing but
Traveling incognito, Zane MacAllister, Hollywood's hottest
heartthrob, has at last eluded the rabid gossipmongers and
curiosity seekers who trail him like a pack of coyotes
hoping for a bone, and now he has the time and space to
sort through his life and see what he's become.
And then he comes upon Roan O'Hara, pale, thin to the
point of starvation, a woman at the end of her rope. She's
determined to survive the harsh winter in a ramshackle
cabin in the Smoky Mountains—and her grit and
vulnerability compel him to stay and help her out.
This mountain woman has secrets, and so does he. But just
when they're about to come clean with each other, the
outside world catches up.
Can they find a way to be together, this man who at every
turn proves that he's a real hero and this woman who has
battles she must fight alone?
