The Ranger and The Hurricane — Vanessa Gray Bartal

Hurricane Poppy, a whirlwind of poor decision making and impulsive behavior. Headstrong and full of sass, she always does things her own way. When one regrettable indiscretion leads to a life-altering change, Poppy's dream of being a pastry chef in New York will be threatened in the most unexpected way. Texas Ranger Sullivan Langford has been searching for magic his entire life. When he sees a pretty girl sitting alone in a gazebo, he thinks maybe he's found it. But a momentary lapse in judgement isn't the same as a lifetime of responsibility, and soon Sully will realize that forever is a long time. Especially while a killer waits and watches, hoping for revenge.
