Silhouette Intimate Moments #664: Trouble in Texas

Dr. Alexandra Courtland is literally running from her past. She has never wanted to live in her hometown of Midland, for the simple reason, that her father is there. Her father, a well known, powerful man, has not made life easy for his daughters. Alex has never taken the time to grieve over her husbands death. She has just spent a year in war torn Bosnia and immediately returned to her job in the U.S. as an emergency room doctor. Her time in Bosnia left her unable to do her job in the U.S., so she took off. Her journey has lead her through the small town of Saddle. The last thing that Alex wants is to have to spend any time in the small town that reminds her of the one in which she grew up. Unfortunately, her car `mysteriously' breaks down and she has no choice but to stay in Saddle for a few days.Deputy Sheriff Derek Gray has had his own share of pain in the past. Years in the Military always change a man, not to mention the years as a cop in a large city. Derek has also suffered through a nasty bitter divorce.
