Healing the Lawman's Heart

He lost his family once. Was he strong enough— brave enough— to take that risk again?

Midwife and Nurse Practitioner Julia Harrison is the last person Tanner Reddington should get involved with. Tanner lost his trust in the medical system when he lost his wife and unborn child. Healthy young women don’t just die. It had to be somebody’s fault. There had to be someone to blame. Grief-stricken and angry, he vowed to limit personal risk. But the state trooper's protective instincts outweigh his misgivings when he meets Julia.

Julia Harrison never throws in the towel easily, but a cheating husband and his size four mistress, both working in her boys’ school district, made staying in Central New York impossible. Kids shouldn’t have to field questions about their parents’ improprieties. Chin raised, she headed west to join her father and brother in Kirkwood Lake.

There’s nothing weak about Julia. She’s there to open a medical practice and establish a clinic to help struggling women while raising two small boys on her own. Plagued by memories of the family he lost, Tanner fights the pull he feels toward Julia and her kids. But when an orphaned newborn brings Tanner and Julia together, they begin to consider their future together… as husband and wife.
