A Texan on her doorstep

As deputy sheriff, Mac MacCleod gave difficult news--but now he's about to get it. He's planning to confront his long-lost mother-- until he's blocked by her formidable doctor. Ileana Sanders isn't about to let any long, lean Texan in a Stetson stress her patient. And this news would set off fireworks!

But she can't help being there for this tormented man. A sexy stranger who sees past her plain-Jane facade to the woman who yearns for a partner, a protector...a lover. In helping Mac search for a family, could Ileana end up with a man of her own?
