SYNOPSIS:
Together
they will defeat the past.
When Dr. Caroline Stern moves to the Texas Hill Country to
share custody of her
rescued son, the last thing she expects is to fall in love
with the little
boy’s sexy
father!
ON
CHRISTMAS DAY… the life of Dr. Caroline Stern changed
forever. Her husband was
murdered, her baby son kidnapped. When she found the boy
again, he was with his
biological father - a man Caroline never intended to
meet.
There seems no obvious tie between Jack Briscoe and the
violence of sixteen
months prior, but Caroline just wants her son back -
something Jack seems
unwilling to grant. He wants the boy, too, and when a wily
old country judge
demands the two of them work out a shared custody
arrangement, Caroline finds
herself in Texas Hill Country for longer than
expected.
Then she learns Jack wants her, too. And she might want
him.
In the beautiful town of Verde, on the shores of Lake
Templeton, she begins to
rebuild her life. But the dark clouds of the past have not
vanished completely,
and one last storm of deceit remains. A choice must be made,
and only the
deepest love will see them
through.

EXCERPT:
“Tell
me we have a chance to make this
work.”
Caroline stiffened beside him. “What do
you mean?”
Jack pulled back and sat up. “You know
what I mean. Tell me we have a chance to make a relationship
work.”
Caroline rolled away and sat up, too. “I
thought you understood. I told you a month ago I’m not ready
for a serious
relationship.”
Jack leaned forward and glared into her
eyes. “Then what the hell was tonight all about? You, me,
the lovemaking? I
thought it meant something.”
Caroline swallowed and reached for her
nightshirt. “I was offering you tonight, Jack. Just tonight.
Tonight was about
the moon and the stars and the dancing. Tonight was about
giving in to the
attraction. Tonight was about doing what you’ve been trying
to get me to do for
the last six weeks. Yes, the sex was great, but…” Her eyes
misted and she
looked away.
“But?” Jack prompted.
“But it was just a fling, Jack. Just a
romantic interlude between two consenting
adults.”
