Rebuild My World Cheryl Norman

More than anything Taylor Drake wants her life back. She's returned to her family home, suffering from the agoraphobia that has plagued her since she was brutally attacked in her apartment. Once a confident and successful photographer, she now cowers behind closed doors with a loaded pistol, fearing her attacker will find her and finish the job. The last assignment chief deputy Adam Gillespie wants is to babysit the spoiled celebrity, Taylor. He blames her father for his family's financial ruin; and her brother, Wil Drake, is the incumbent candidate for Foster County sheriff, Adam's dream job. Wil is out of town, though, so Adam can't afford to let anything happen to the sheriff's sister, in spite of the years-old feud between the Drake and Gillespie families. Complications arise when someone murders the man Adam arrests for stalking Taylor, and Adam learns things aren't as they first seem. Taylor is hardly a pampered prima donna, rather a warm, intelligent, yet troubled woman whom he grows to love. The two find holes in the history of the feud between their families that need filling in. Adam has to reconcile the hostilities, or any future with Taylor is doomed. But first he must stop the cunning killer who wants her dead.
