Coming Home — Shirlee Busbee

A world-famous model, Roxanne Ballinger has traded big money and neon-filled nights for the rolling hills and friendly faces of her hometown, Oak Valley. Now that the bitter feud between her family and another has faded, the peace she longs for seems possible. Until she crosses paths with Deputy Sheriff Jeb Delaney.

He's the one man she doesn't want to see -- or desire. Ever since high school his knowing looks have rubbed her the wrong way, and trouble in tight jeans is the last thing she needs. Jeb isn't exactly looking for romance either, not after having learned about love the hard way. So why do the two of them generate more heat than the hottest Fourth of July in the valley? And why can't they stop getting closer than close...kissing, caressing, and making love?
