Silhouette Intimate Moments #725: Hero in Hiding

Author? most interesting - thought it was Kay David? Excellent story with Rio coming to the aid of the illigal aliens through the request of Sister Rosa. The illigals were getting beat up and murdered. Mercy Hamilton was following the ways of her doctor family in giving free aid to the less fortunates in her first year. Now then, Rio is forty and getting caught up in a hormone drive that could endanger himself and all those around him. I am definitely surprised that Sheriff Rick Greenwood did not catch Rio coming and going from the clinic. He sure wasn't that dumb. Mercy had reason enough to fear the Sheriff but she didn't listen to her instincts. Hormones got the better of her also. She soon found out that Sister Rosa knew more about Rio than she was letting on. Great story, fast paced and intensely interesting but too much time spent hoping into bed. Definitely Recommended --M Try it you might like it. Can you solve the mystery faster than I did?

Doctor Mercy Hamilton has been looking forward to spending a year at the free clinic in Ciudad Bravo. The people there desperately need the medical care that she can provide. What Mercy did not count on was the wounded man that showed up at her home holding a knife to her throat. The handsome and sexy stranger demanded that she treat his wounds and not report him to the sheriff. Mercy knew because of her oath as a doctor that she would take care of this man. She knew that she should report him to the sheriff, but for some reason she did not want to put Rio in harms way. Besides, Mercy has heard stories about the sheriff, and she is not sure that she trusts the man.Rio Barrigan knew that the only thing that should matter to him was the job that he promised to do, but he could not seem to get Mercy out of his head. He could not tell her the truth about himself or what he does for a living. The lies and secrets would always be between them. Not only that, but Rio's job was dangerous and he did not want to put Mercy in danger.Rio and Mercy each have their own reasons for avoiding each other, but the attraction that both felt was stronger than their reasons for staying away. Still, unless they can be honest and trust each other, they will doom their relationship to fail.This was a very exciting fast paced story. Rio and Mercy are both characters that you can enjoy right from the beginning. Rio and Mercy are perfect for each other, you can feel it in every page as the story progresses, but you can also feel the danger building. If the reader pays attention, than it is easy to see the truth before the author reveals it, but it takes nothing away from the depth of that truth once it is revealed. A very good story, highly recommended.
