Dusty - Kathi S. Barton

Shipley has spent her life saving others as a doctor in the Army's M.A.S.H. unit, where she's seen it all-except for a homecoming like this. Returning stateside for her brother-in-law's funeral, she's prepared for a quiet visit with her sister, but instead, she's thrown into a whirlwind of family drama, danger, and unexpected romance.
When a tragic accident thrusts her into the role of hero once again, Shipley finds herself face to face with Dusty, a man who's as relentless as she is in facing life's challenges. Dusty Erickson is no stranger to hard decisions, but when his path crosses with Shipley's, he knows he's found something worth fighting for.
As Shipley navigates family struggles, the pushy advances of a past admirer, and the weight of her military career, she's forced to confront a different kind of battle-one of the heart. Will she allow herself to trust Dusty with her life and her love, or will the burdens of her past keep her from embracing the future they could have together?
