Contemporary romance in Name that Book (April 2016)

From the back of the book:
"Gabriel Brandon had been her hero ever since she was a girl and he'd rescued her, an orphan, from sure ruin. And Michelle Godrey had loved him forever, the mysterious rancher with the dark eyes, her protector and guardian angel. Now she'd blossomed into a woman."
I really liked this read. Diana Palmer is one of my favorite authors. No bad language needed in her books. It was a time fast reading book from when Gabriel and Michelle met.
I gave it a 5 star rating. This is from a paperback I own and my second read of the book.… (more)
