A man who prides himself on his logic and control...
Normally a no-nonsense businessman, Reed Wilder finds himself undertaking a very personal quest. Journeying from Deleware to the small backwater town of Far Enough, Texas, he's in search of a fallen woman - a deceitful opportunist who had preyed on his brother years before. On the way, he discovers a fiesty angel. Barely reaching five-foot two inches, the petite firebrand helps defend him against two ruffians and then treats his wounds with a gentleness that makes him long to uncover all her secrets. But when she reveals her name, he realizes his lovely rescuer is not an innocent woman, but the jezebel he's been seeking.

A resourceful woman struggling to make it on her own...
Lucy Ames has learned the hard way that you just can't count on friends and neighbors to stand by you through the hard times. Keeping her chin firmly tilted up through years of small town gossip and ostracism, she's somehow managed to carve out a life for herself and her young son on her own. She's about reached the end of her meager resources, though, and having to nurse the handsome stranger she literally stumbled across in the woods is not helping matters at all. Worse yet, his kindness and obvious admiration are proving as dangerous to her carefully erected emotional walls, as his appetite is to her larder.

The heart of the matter...
Reed finds his logic and control slipping away as he gazes into Lucy's warm and beautiful eyes. There's only one option: to discover the truth behind those enticing lips he longs to sample. For how could the tainted woman he sought be the rose-scented angel he's discovered?
Soon, holding Lucy in his arms, he knows he's come far enough to realize true love when he finds it, far enough to know... WHAT MATTERS MOST
