***He wanted to be more than a friend...*** 

**Travis Worthington-Deane **appreciated the good life--he'd worked his butt off to build his ranch into one of the finest in Texas. But that didn't mean he was *all* work and no play.

He was more than willing to play with **Dr. Lacy McGareth**. His pretty neighbor took everything far too seriously. It became a real challenge to make her smile. To make her see that he would never hurt her, would be there the moment she needed him. To help her understand that the woman who had been alone for far too long could *trust *him. No matter what.

Lacy just wanted to find her equilibrium again after a near tragedy had almost killed her and her best friends just a few short months ago. She was healing, but it was slow. She was finally *almost *able to breathe again. To love. To laugh.

And Travis did make her laugh.

The last thing she needed was to get involved with the governor's too charming younger brother!

Travis was good at getting through her defenses. At making her trust him when she never thought she'd ever trust a man again.

But someone else wanted Lacy to smile just for *him.* 

Someone with an ax to grind against those damned perfect Deane brothers.

*Someone who wanted more than Lacy will ever give... *
