The beautiful blonde with the mysteriously broken-down '66 Mustang was exactly what Sheriff Derek Grey's small West Texas town, and his young daughter, needed, an honest-to-goodness doctor. She was also everything he wanted. Dr. Alexandra Courtland had spent too many years running away from her rural roots to be trapped in some small town. But she hadn't counted on the deadly epidemic that threatened the population, or the sheriff's sad young daughter, who captured her heart and brought out instincts that were purely maternal. And she'd certainly had no intention of falling for a certain tall, lanky Texas lawman. It seemed, however, that rules were made to be broken.
