Lawman
by Diana Palmer

When San Antonio FBI agent Garon Grier buys a ranch in
Jacobsville, Texas, the strong, silent loner is hoping to
mend some broken family fences. He's not looking for love
when he finds an unexpected, unwanted attraction to the girl
next door, a shy, lovely woman who believes some secrets are
best kept hidden. But the truth will prove just as dangerous
when Garon tackles the most difficult case of his career,
hunting an escaped convict, a child predator whose former
victims are all dead. All except one.

Grace Carver grew
up in this quiet Texas town. She works as a cook at the
local caf and nurtures a spectacular garden in the home
she shares with her elderly grandmother. She remains
unmarried and untouched because of a past darkened by
tragedy. Now, at only twenty-five, she's accepted loneliness
as a way of life. That is, until Garon.

But only when
fear and uncertainty collide in reckless heartbreak does
Garon fully realize what he's found with Grace—and what
he may have lost. Because his hunt for a killer has led him
to the last person on earth he would ever have expected to
be the one who had escaped death at the hands of a madman.
And now a desperate lawman and a proud woman must decide if
secrets will come between them forever...or free them to love.

Originally published June 2007 in hardcover.
