The Millionaire Comes Home

by Mary Lynn Baxter

Published 1 September 2001

His sleek BMW looking like a champion black stallion, Denton rode arrogantly into the one-horse Texas town he'd once called home.

Ripe with disdain, he planned to make a quick million - then bolt. But the unexpected sight of Grace Simmons launched him down memory lane to a perfect starlit night when he'd gently taken her innocence...and she'd stolen his heart.

Suddenly Denton yearned to relive her exquisite kisses, to revel in her laughter, to squander whole afternoons in her bed - and to turn his first love into his forever love!

"Cozying up to the enemy makes sense." -

Clark Garrison, urban cowboy and ruthless capitalist Clark Garrison had his reasons for returning to River Oaks and wasn't about to let anyone stand in his way - especially not Dr. Sara Wilson. Hell, she was just as beautiful and infuriating as he remembered, and clearly she still considered him the same swaggering bad boy she'd known years ago.

Though he wanted to lure the lovely doctor to his bed, she was unquestionably off-limits. After all, it wouldn't be long before she discovered that the reason he was back had everything to do with her...

Some men are made for lovin' - and you'll love our MAN OF THE MONTH!
