Through All Eternity — Sondra Stanford

The quiet town of Cattail, Texas, had everything retired New York fashion model Lila Addison wanted: peace, tranquility and blessed solitude. At least, that's what she thought until she bumped -- literally! -- into big Jeffrey Chappel, a man fighting to save his younger sister's life.

Jeff was vital, dynamic -- fiercely protective of those he loved. And he had his eye on Lila...But how could she convince the gentle giant that she didn't want his protection? His love was what she needed -- through all eternity.
