      The ground shifted beneath Matt’s feet and he deepened the kiss, needing to taste more of her.

      Annalise made a small sound in the back of her throat. Before Matt could do more than register her reaction, she suddenly pulled away.

      “No,” she panted, color streaking her cheeks. “I don’t want this.”

      That damn sure wasn’t how it felt. Feeling as though he’d had the wind knocked out of him, Matt tried to collect his wits.

      “You aren’t going to hurt me again.” She gathered up her skirts, grabbed her medical bag and ran.

      Author’s Note

      Does anyone remember the Western TV series set in the 1880s that introduced “newfangled” scientific techniques like we have today? I was immediately hooked on the idea and dubbed it CSI: Bonanza. But how to use it? It stayed in the back of my mind as I wrote my Whirlwind series.

      Matt Baldwin, like his brother, has been part of the series from the beginning. Though introduced as Whirlwind’s most infamous ladies’ man, he is also the leader in the hunt for a gang of vicious rustlers. As such, he’s been targeted.

      When those rustlers catch up to him, so does his past, in the form of Dr. Annalise Fine. Ambushed and left for dead, Matt is Annalise’s newest patient. No one has seen anything like his strange injuries or has any idea what could’ve caused them. Cue my CSI: Bonanza idea. What could be more perfect than giving my heroine the knowledge of a newfangled way to analyze and identify the unique wounds?

      Matt wants nothing to do with the woman who rejected his marriage proposal and left him to become a doctor. She has no intention of mending fences with the sexy cowboy who broke her heart. But in order to find his attacker, they must join forces. I hope you enjoy their story.

      Happy trails.
