Heart's Ease

GENTLE LADY

CC Wyatt was the first to admit it--he was a family man without a family, a gentleman missing his lady, a charming businessman in a Stetson hat who was looking for more than a glamorous young escort. Would he ever find a woman with warmth, class and a soul so deep he could lose himself in it?

Valerie Hepburn, demure and thoughtful, was all that and more--but, much to CC's frustration, she kept him at arm's length. She was silent about the obstacles she had overcome, and gracious but firm in her insistent refusal to discuss her tragic past. Would CC's persistent, persuasive ways convince Valerie that he could heal her sorrows, and that a future with him would be a glorious wonder?
