The Runaway Daughter

She took the baby and ran...

Eighteen-year-old Maggie didn't know what else to do. She'd promised her dying friend she'd keep the baby safe from his father, a drug dealer...and killer. Who else could she turn to but her uncle, Deputy Tony Rivers?

Everybody Tony cares about seems to leave him. He really wants to help Maggie and the newborn baby, but if he reports them to his boss, Chief Deputy Angie Carter, he knows Maggie will run again-and he can't risk losing her.

But how can Tony keep the truth from Angie when they're embroiled in an investigation that puts their jobs-and their lives-on the line?

Bailey is struggling to keep her grandmother' s bed-and-breakfast, her home, from being swallowed up by taxes and the bank. She doesn' t have time to help Derrick, but she can' t refuse his daughter.

The more time Derrick spends with Bailey, the more he respects her, the more he wants her. He' s failed so much already, but he' s determined to win Bailey.
