Vaughn Sisters #1
Bulletproof Hearts
Assistant D.A. Natalie Vaughn came to Fairweather to build a better life for her son and erase the mistakes of her past. All she wanted was a fresh start -- she had no desire for danger or romance.
Until Lieutenant Dylan Creighton walked into her office.
The sexy, blue-eyed cop had only one goal: to bring down the leader of the local crime syndicate, the man responsible for destroying his family. His attraction to the beautiful attorney was a distraction he couldn't allow -- until she stumbled onto a murder scene and placed herself in the line of fire. Forced to stay close to protect Natalie, his feelings -- and hers -- soon gave way to passion. And only then did they realize that the greatest danger they faced might be falling in love.

According to her mother, she fell in love with books even before she could read and was always content when she had a book in her hands. It didn’t surprise anyone when she decided that she wanted to be a writer, but she was encouraged to pursue “a real job” first.
So she did—she became a lawyer. Two years of practicing law taught her a lot about the world—and reinforced her determination to become a writer. Because in fiction, she could promise a happy ending!
Thankfully, she had already met and married a wonderful man to inspire her fictional heroes. And when she was on maternity leave after the birth of their first son, he encouraged her to take a romance writing course at the local community college. It was while enrolled in this class that she completed her first (still unpublished) manuscript.
Three more manuscripts and another baby followed. And then, in June 2002, she finally got the call from Susan Litman—an editorial assistant and contest judge—offering to buy the manuscript she’d submitted to RWA’s Golden Heart® contest as “From This Moment.” This story was re-titled McIver’s Mission and released by Silhouette Intimate Moments in May 2003.

Not a bad read, with some interesting tension. The hero is a bit hot and cold Ahab-after-the-whale, for my liking, and the heroine didn't seem very human to me, but it was certainly readable.
