Six foot tall and spicy hot, Sheriff Daniel Galvez wasn''t the kind of man women said no to. Unless you were Lauren Maxwell. Years ago, Daniel had worked a case that had destroyed her family...and her trust in men. Now Lauren''s come home, a trauma doctor, all cool-eyed and distant. Still, something about this brave woman stirred up Daniel''s emotions. Lucky for him Lauren needed a strong lawman to help her safeguard a battered teenage patient. Holed up together, Daniel swore to bridge the distance between them-even if it meant having his own heart broken again.
