SHE DOESN'T WANT A ROMANCE RIGHT NOW.

She doesn't need a lover...but she just can't seem to resist him.

The last thing Dr. Lacy McGareth needs right now is the governor's far too charming younger brother distracting her. But that cowboy neighbor of hers is exceptionally good at getting through her defenses. At making her see the world outside Finley Creek General Hospital.

At making her see him.

HE ALWAYS GETS WHAT HE WANTS. AND HE WANTS HER.

Travis Worthington-Deane has worked his butt off to build his ranch into one of the finest in Texas—but that doesn't mean he's all work and no play. He's more than willing to play with Lacy. She is the woman he just can’t get out of his head, after all. All he wants now is to help her forget the nightmares that haunt her after she and her best friends were almost killed by a deranged killer. To convince her to take a chance on him.

Possibly forever.

SOMEONE ELSE WANTS HER NOW.

But someone else needs Lacy for his own. He wants Lacy to smile, too. But just for him. And he has an axe to grind with those damned perfect Deane brothers. A man with far-reaching secrets he can't afford to get out. Ever.

Only one doctor can save him.

And he wants far more than Lacy will ever be able to give...
