Читать книгу Texas Stakeout - Virna DePaul - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

The last few books I’ve written for the Mills & Boon Romantic Suspense line have involved heroes in law enforcement, and this one is no different. Dylan Rooney is a U.S. marshal who is tracking down a fugitive in Texas—a place very different from where he grew up in California. That’s just one of the reasons Dylan feels thrown off balance throughout the book.

The other big reason is Rachel Kincaid, the heroine, who just happens to be the sister of the man Dylan is hunting. Rachel is a strong, independent single mother who believes deeply in her brother’s goodness, so when Dylan shows up accusing him of murder, it’s natural for Rachel to view him as the enemy. Then the real enemies show up.

As Rachel is forced to rely on Dylan for protection, the more she begins to like and respect him, and this includes his dedication to upholding the U.S. Marshals motto: Justice, Integrity, Service. Throughout the story, Rachel and Dylan face a similar dilemma: how to reconcile one’s duty with feelings of desire and love that seem to conflict with that duty.

I hope you enjoy their story as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Wishing you much love and happiness always,

Virna DePaul
