The Sheriff's 6-Year-Old Secret by Donna Clayton released on Sep 24, 2002 is available now for purchase.

Dr. Grey Thunder's man-hunting female patients were on the prowl—and he was their target! The handsome Native American had had enough. He came up with an unusual proposition for his nurse, Lori Young, who had problems of her own—an unborn baby she wanted to protect from her ex-husband. "Marry me." The marriage of convenience between the sexy Native American doctor and the pregnant nurse quickly turned into a heated affair. But would their fiery union prove strong enough to heal the wounds of the past...and convince them to trust in their newfound love?

All Conner Thunder wanted was to be alone, yet he couldn't ignore the cries of a woman in the woods near his cabin. The stranger with hair as pale as moonlight and secrets in her eyes needed a shoulder to cry on, but after a kiss meant to soothe turned passionate, she was gone. Mattie Russell had heard about Conner, but they'd never met before the night by the lake, when the grief over her sister's senseless death overwhelmed her. Mattie steered clear of relationships, but the appeal of the brooding Native American was stronger than her determination to stay single. Could Mattie be the one woman to bring Conner peace...and could he teach her to trust in love?
