Merciless

An unlikely attraction blossoms in this classic tale from Diana Palmer's bestselling Long, Tall Texans series FBI agent Jon Blackhawk has no interest in settling down with a wife and family, despite being one of Jacobsville's most eligible bachelors. If he had his way, he'd be happily single forever. Luckily, Jon has a gatekeeper: his efficient and reliable assistant, Joceline Perry. Without her help, he'd be at the mercy of the women of Jacobsville. But the more he comes to rely on her, the more he notices how invaluable-and attractive-she really is. While Joceline can't deny that her boss is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome, as a single mother with responsibilities, she doesn't have the luxury of being anything but professional. But when Jon is accosted by a criminal seeking revenge, she comes to his aid-fueling the spark that is growing between them. As the danger to Jon's safety grows, Joceline stands by his side. But when the smoke clears, will the man who avoided love realize that all he ever needed was right there all along?BONUS NOVELLA INSIDE"You just can't do better than a Diana Palmer story to make your heart lighter and smile brighter." -Fresh Fiction on Wyoming RuggedLong, Tall Texans Book 1: Long, Tall Texans: CalhounBook 2: Long, Tall Texans: QuinnBook 3: Long, Tall Texans: EthanBook 4: EvanBook 5: DonavanBook 6: EmmettBook 7: Long, Tall Texans: ReganBook 8: Long, Tall Texans: ToddBook 9: Long, Tall Texans: HankBook 10: Coltrain''s ProposalBook 11: Long, Tall Texans: TomBook 12: Long, Tall Texans: DrewBook 13: JobeBook 14: CHRISTMAS COWBOYBook 15: The Princess BrideBook 16: BelovedBook 17: Long, Tall Texans: JuddBook 18: Callaghan''s BrideBook 19: GuyBook 20: Long, Tall Texans: LukeBook 21: Long, Tall Texans: ChristopherBook 22: MATT CALDWELL: TEXAS TYCOONBook 23: LORD OF THE DESERTBook 24: The Texas RangerBook 25: Long, Tall Texans: GaronBook 26: A Man of MeansBook 27: DESPERADOBook 28: LionheartedBook 29: Man in ControlBook 30: The Founding FatherBook 31: Cattleman''s PrideBook 32: Long, Tall Texans: CashBook 33: Carrera''s BrideBook 34: Boss ManBook 35: Winter RosesBook 36: Iron CowboyBook 37: Long, Tall Texans: BentleyBook 38: DefenderBook 39: UnbridledBook 40: UnleashedBook 41: Texas ProudBook 42: Notorious
