What Matters Most — Winnie Griggs

Reed Wilder journeys to Far Enough, Texas, in search of a fallen woman. He finds an angel. Barely reaching five feet two inches, the petite brunette helps to defend him against two ruffians and then treats his wounds with a gentleness that makes him long to uncover all of her secrets. But she has only to reveal her name and he knows his lovely rescuer is not an innocent woman, but the deceitful opportunist who preyed on his brother. Reed prides himself on his logic and control, but both desert him when he gazes into Lucy's warm, brown eyes. He has only one option: to discover the truth behind those enticing lips he longs to sample.

Heroine: Lucy Ames
