Renegade
by Diana Palmer
For newly appointed police chief Cash Grier; life in rural
southeast Texas was quite a departure from his former world
of subterfuge and black ops. But as a true renegade, Cash
had learned never to take anything at face value. Even now
he sniffed an undercurrent of unrest in the air and made it
his personal mission to keep law and order in the streets of
Jacobsville. Complications arose when Cash found himself
distracted by his traitorous desire for Tippy
Moore—the “Georgia Firefly.”
The
combative barbs he’d once relished exchanging with his
gorgeous sworn enemy no longer gave him the same
satisfaction. Cash was stunned by Tippy’s amazing
transformation from “spoiled” Hollywood starlet
to unassuming beauty who had almost as many skeletons in her
closet as he did. Despite himself, the hard-edged Texan
discovered a kindred spirit in this woman who was selflessly
devoted to raising her beleaguered younger brother. Before
long, Cash, a man who prided himself on self-restraint,
found himself powerless to resist their explosive chemistry.
Just as Cash was beginning to believe that Tippy might
be the one for him, an unforgivable betrayal ripped them
apart, spiraling them in different directions, leading to
despair—and unexpected danger. Yet even as Cash licked
his wounds, sharply hewn instincts alerted him that Tippy
was in grave jeopardy. In a race against time, he rode to
the rescue after Tippy courageously sacrificed herself to
secure her brother’s freedom when the boy was used as
a pawn in a deadly moneymaking scheme. In the aftermath of
her harrowing ordeal, the Tippy Cash whisked home would not
be the same woman he’d coldly turned his back on. Now
all roads led to this one pivotal moment that would test the
very fabric of a love that had once known no bounds....
