Sweetheart

WAS SHE REALLY A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS?

For country veterinarian Whit Morgan, taking in strays was just part of the job. But the helpless-looking beauty who just wandered into his office with an injured kitten happens to be one of New York's hottest super-models. Whit wasn't foolish enough to believe that the innocent look in those gorgeous green eyes was anything more than a professional pose. He'd been betrayed once before by a woman-in-need, and vowed never to trust in love again. But something about Alex Hamilton drew him to her despite the warnings sound in his heart.

Alex Hamilton wasn't out to fool anyone. The quiet solitude of her rented cottage in the sleepy town of Chestnut Grove was the only thing keeping her from coming apart at the seams. Tired of a fast-paced career -- and fast-paced men -- Alex wanted only one thing from life: to be left alone. Then the ruggedly handsome veterinarian, tending to his own wounds of the heart, reached out to the fragile beauty with a love that could heal them both.
