Grace Under Fire — Kathleen Webb

Dr. Grace Abbot had deceived her father. She'd led him to believe that she'd stayed out East to become a proper doctor's wife. Now he wanted her home, and she knew she couldn't tell him the truth. So when a wounded stranger showed up at her Kansas City infirmary, Grace hit upon a wild scheme...never imagining that when she convinced the darkly handsome Dexter Abbott to pose as her husband, she'd fall prey to his charm. For six long months, Pinkerton detective Dex Abbot had searched for his client's willful daughter. Not only had he found her - she'd given him the perfect excuse to stick by her side. But being so close to his willowy 'wife' inspired a longing Dex never bargained on. Was keeping his deception from Grace his only chance to win her love?
