Storm Warning — Kathryn Brocato

SHELTER FROM THE STORM

Devon Rayburn had always been strictly off limits Though his tall, muscular build and sunstreaked hair had warmed the hearts of every red-blooded girl in Winnie, Texas, Devon had been spoken for. Until now

Gospel singer Valerie Dallas had planned a quiet vacation back home in Winnie. She hadn't expected to come face to face with the subject of an intense childhood crush. And nothing could have prepared her for Devon's soulful response to her presence, his easy laughter, his tender touch.

In a town the size of Winnie, there was no avoiding a man like Devon Rayburn. Before Valerie realized what was happening, he was carrying her groceries, mowing her lawn, and trying to protect her from the big, bad world. For even as Valerie noted the path of summer storms, a menacing stranger was following her every move. Was it silly to heed Devon's warning and let him sweep her away into a safe hiding place? As long as Devon was near, Valerie didn't care if the storm raged on.
