Head back to Jacobsville, Texas, in New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer’s fan-favorite tale, The Winter Soldier!
Most everyone in town steered clear of taciturn Cy Parks. However, lovely young Lisa Monroe wasn’t exactly quaking in her boots at the sight of Cy; instead, she electrified the formidable loner with her sweetly tantalizing kisses. Their fiery passion escalated when the winter soldier returned to the line of duty…and claimed the lovely Lisa as his wife, but only to shield her from a revenge-seeking desperado. Against his own will, Cy found himself getting mighty possessive over this enchanting woman who needed the type of safeguarding only he could provide. But who would protect the beguiling bride from him...?
Originally published in 2001.
He Could Feel Her Pulse Go Wild Under His Touch.
It had been far too long since Cy had had anyone this close to him. Restraints that had been kept in place with sheer will were crumbling just at the proximity.
He moved a full step closer, so that her body was right up against him. His hands were at the back of her neck now, caressing the silky skin below her nape.
Her vulnerability made him feel taller, more masculine than ever. He wanted to protect the sweet young widow, care for her, watch over her. These were new feelings. Before, his relationships to women had been very physical.
Lisa made him hungry in a different way.
She parted her lips to speak, and he put a thumb gently over them. His free hand went around her waist and drew her slowly closer, pressing her to him.
He lifted an eyebrow at her shocked expression. “Why, Mrs. Monroe, you’re blushing,” he chided softly.

It was Monday, the worst day in the world to try to get a prescription filled. Behind the counter, the poor harassed male druggist was trying to field the telephone calls, fill prescriptions, answer questions from patrons and delegate duties to two assistants.
