Book excerpt: EVERYTHING DR. SAGE WEST NEEDED TO KNOW SHE LEARNED FROM…A BOUNTY HUNTER? When she trekked into the mountains with Cord Lawson to save a life, she’d thought that book smarts alone mattered. Now one rain-soaked river swim and bare-chested kiss in the sun later, she knew that being alive meant feeling things. But could she survive the heartbreak when her tantalizing tutor resumed his wandering ways? Life was uncertain, so a man took his pleasures where he found them. That was the law that Cord Lawson lived by. But when he found Sage West, everything changed, for this surprising lady doctor sparked something new in his footloose soul—a certainty that he’d at last come home!
