Sentinel at Dawn

THEY HAD THIS CHANCE TO HEAL EACH OTHER Baird Langston didn't believe anyone in town wished him well--including Dawnelle Belanger. Life was tough for a marine scientist scrabbling for specimens along California's rugged Redwood Coast. Tough for an ex-con, wrongly accused.... Dawnelle had the expertise to help restore Baird's reputation. Lightning-quick moments of shared tenderness melted into a seduction that devastated her, deliciously ...

She couldn't nurture Baird with love until he learned to trust.
