Story
No one in the tiny town of Boothill, Texas, knows the real Shaun Murphy. Heck, most of them don’t even know his first name – and that’s the way Murphy likes it. But he can’t hide from the pretty young postmistress, Letty Madden. Letty’s brother is missing, and she knows Murphy’s the only one who can help her find him. But Murphy doesn’t need her money. And so when Letty comes to him, her begging brown eyes as dark as bittersweet chocolate, he makes her a very indecent proposal.

Story
Two classic stories of finding love where you least expect it! Marriage Wanted: As far as Nash Davenport's concerned, marriage isn't shelter from the storm - it is the storm. He's a divorce attorney, himself divorced, who believes no married couple can live up to their wedding vows. My Hero: Would-be romance writer Bailey York has already failed twice at love. She thinks men are wonderful to read and write about, but that's it. Which is probably why she has such difficulty creating a hero for her novel. What she needs is a real-life example.

Publisher's Summary
She’s stuck with Jack…
Lorraine Dancy has just discovered that everything she believes about her father is a lie – starting with the fact that Thomas supposedly died years ago. Now she’s learned that not only is he not dead, he’s living in a small town south of the border. In the process of tracking him down, she manages to get framed for theft and pursued by the real thief, the police, and a local crime boss. Her father’s friend Jack Keller agrees to help her escape, although Lorraine’s reluctant to depend on a man like him.
And he’s stuck with her!
Jack’s every bit the renegade Lorraine thinks he is – an ex-mercenary and former Deliverance Company operative. He’s also the one person who can guide her to safety. But there are stormy waters ahead, including an attraction neither of them wants to feel. An attraction that’s as risky as it is intense – for both of them. The sooner he can get Lorraine home, the better.

Content
I didn't like this book. The story started out good but, then took a nose dive. Foul language , explicit detail. After I listened to 4 of her books, I was looking forward to more stories. I deleted this from my library.
I have a couple more of her audio books. I hope I will not be disappointed and have to delete anymore of her books.

Great performance.
I think a good story can be easily ruined by lousy narration. Debbie usually has great narrators, this book definitely does. The story is full of action, and clean romance. I've listened to it several times and enjoy it every time.

It was a pretty good book, it ended well but it was a lot of time wasted between Jack & Lorraine, but hey, at least they ended up together.
