All That I Ask — Jane McBride Choate

Sparks fly when Shannon meets neighbor and sheriff Gabe Lambert. Trust doesn't come that easily to Gabe. A failed engagement leaves him wary of relationships. When he realizes he's in love with Shannon, he wants to take care of her -- to protect and cherish her -- in every way possible. What will it take to convince Gabe that Shannon doesn't need him to take care of her, and for Shannon to convince herself that all she needs is Gabe's love?
