The No. 1 Sheriff In Texas

By Patricia Thayer

Randell men are hard to resist: hired to protect and serve, Detective Brandon Randell wears his hat low and his badge polished.

Randell men love for a lifetime: after Brandon rescues nurse Nora Donnelly, her natural beauty awakens his senses. And her little son brings out all his protective instincts. Running from her past, Nora has bumped into her future. All six-foot gorgeous sheriff of him!

Except she'll have to run again soon. . . …but Randell men never give up!
