by Diana Palmer

From the back of the book:

When San Antonio FBI agent Garon Grier buys a ranch in Jacobsville, Texas, the strong silent loner is hoping to mend some broken family fences. He's not looking for love. Grace Carver grew up in this quiet Texas town, but because of her troubled youth, she's never married - hadn't even thought about it...until Garon.

These unlikely allies are brought together by the most difficult case of Garon's career: hunting an escaped child predator whose former victims are all dead. All except one.

Violet Hardy was in love with her boss, Blake Kemp but, when he told her that she was fat, she quit and went to work for his nemisis, Duke Wright on his cattle ranch.  When Blake came to his senses, he began to pursue Violet and well, one thing led to another and Violet was no longer a virgin.  Blake wants her back, in his office and in his bed but will Violet agree?

i love Diana's books, she writes the true fantasy of every woman.
