Breathless Innocence

A fan-favorite romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson, first published in 1993.

Six year ago, Turner Brooks broke Heather Tremont Leonetti's heart, and she's been trying to forget ever since. But now she needs the help of the one man not only hurt her the most, but gave her a son: Turner, the proud, unforgiving loner she used to love.

Fleeing hometown scandal, she accepted a loveless marriage in the city to shield her unborn baby. Years earlier at the Lazy K Ranch, a penniless rodeo rider swept her off her feet, and she learned how quickly passion could turn to heartache.

Now, a medical crisis threatens five-year-old Adam, and she must swallow her pride to beg the hardened cowboy for help. Turner is the boy's only hope for a matching donor, but stepping onto his rugged spread reawakens an undeniable desire.
