Title: Valerie
First published: October 1, 1992
Description: Valerie rushes home to Orchard Valley, Oregon, when her father suffers a heart attack. She and her two younger sisters gather at his side, praying he'll live, fearing he'll die….

The last thing Valerie expects at a time like this is to fall in love—and with a man like Colby Winston, yet. She's a take-charge, big-city businesswoman; he's a renowned heart surgeon who loves small-town living and wants a stay-at-home wife. Valerie can't understand why she's so attracted to him—or why her father keeps insisting that she and Colby make a perfect couple!
