Caroline Whitten has never met a man like Eli Coltrane. From the first moment he touched her, Caroline knew there was something special about him. But is she being honest with herself? Have her feelings for Eli grown out of love, or out of gratitude because the Texas Ranger rescued her from a dangerous man? She knows that Eli has resisted getting close to anyone - including his three half brothers - since he was young. He's the forgotten son, unacknowledged by his father, and unwilling to think of Jake, Beau and Caleb McCain as his blood. Caroline helps him change his mind, so he can find out what it means to be part of a family. But it's what she learns from him along the way that is completely unforgettable....

Good read. Heroine is a senator's daughter (state or US, I'm not sure) who is kidnapped by a cult leader somewhere near Waco (shades of David Koresh!) (I lived near Waco at the time of the Mount Carmel standoff.) Hero is the Texas Ranger who goes in undercover to find her.
Hmm. The cult leader changes the hero's name from Eli to Elijah because they use Biblical names. Except Eli IS Biblical. Eli was the high priest who raised the prophet Samuel after his mother dedicated him to the temple when he was a boy. Oh well.
