To the Rescue Teri Thackston

Threats from an escaped murderer send novelist Amy Bartlett into the protective custody-and sexy arms-of Deputy Marshal Jacob Kissman. Although fiercely independent, Amy accepts asylum at Jacob's family ranch deep in the Texas Hill Country...but only until the man she testified against is caught. Having secretly guarded her for weeks, Jacob is in love with Amy. Getting her alone at his isolated ranch is his dream come true. But seducing a witness is against the rules. Still, he knows she won't be a witness forever. Once the killer is captured, Jacob intends to make Amy his...and now is the time to start trying. Heeding the warning of a psychologist friend, Amy resists Jacob's seduction. A female rescue fantasy, where a woman falls for the man who saves her from danger, is no basis for a relationship. But is it fantasy or something more that sparks erotic dreams featuring the handsome deputy? Jacob's charm and the Texas moon conspire to stoke the fire inside her until Amy does more than surrender her body. She falls in love with Jacob. But with the killer closing in, will she live long enough to let him know?
