At His Side — Roxanne Countryman

She needed his protection.
Shelby Raines was there the night her father was murdered. Born blind, she couldn't see the killer, but she heard what he said and knew he'd be back again. Alone for the first time, Shelby was in no position to refuse the offer of a helping hand from her neighbor, Ken Caulder, but she never dreamed she would soon yearn to feel his touch. He needed her love. After spending years chasing criminals as a Texas Ranger, Ken Caulder was finally ready to hang up this gun and return to his family ranch. But when his father convinced him to help the blind girl next door, his plans for a quiet life were soon disrupted. Not only did he have to protect Shelby from a killer on the loose, he also had to guard his heart from falling under the captivating spell of this innocent beauty.
