Meet Me in Texas

When Del Rickman leaves the FBI, he can think of no better place to start his new life than Crystal Creek, Texas.

Years ago he worked a kidnapping case there, and he never forgot the town or the people. But he’s surprised to discover that his new career and his attraction to one of the locals—a woman he met on that first trip a lifetime ago—has put him in opposition to his new neighbors!

Now he’s determined to turn an abandoned lumberyard into a thriving green enterprise, even if traditional builders view his innovative methods with deep suspicion. After rescuing an injured stray dog from beneath a pile of rotting timbers on his property, Del rushes to the nearby clinic for help. Yet reconnecting with Allison Russell at the local veterinary clinic stirs up protective instincts and a powerful passion he never planned on. When unexplained sabotage strikes his yard, Del must protect his dream and the woman he cannot resist.

Starting over was supposed to be simple, but danger and desire have a way of rewriting the blueprints.
