title: A Sweetheart for Jude Fortune
author: Kirk, Cindy
description: It's love at first sight for one sexy cowboy -- but has this Fortune met the only woman who just might slip through his grasp? Cindy Kirk weaves a sweet and sexy Valentine's Day romance in this latest installment of the new Fortunes of Texas continuity!
  
  As Valentine's Day approaches, playboy rancher Jude Fortune Jones is convinced he has met the Woman He Is Going to Marry. (Again, his brothers tease.) But it is no joke to Jude. When petite brunette beauty Gabriella Mendoza arrives in Horseback Hollow, Jude knows he will never be the same.
  
  Keep things light, Gabi tells herself. She is in no position to think about settling down, particularly with the hopeless-romantic cowboy. As a heart-transplant recipient, she has plenty of reasons to avoid getting too intimate with Jude -- plenty of reasons to feel less than worthy of his love. How can she trust that the flirtatious Fortune is playing for keeps?
