About this ebook

One fateful misstep for Gayla Levine was all it took for her once-adoring fiancé to walk away and her demanding father to disown her. Determined to finally turn her life around and embrace her newfound independence, she wants nothing to do with men or relationships—until she meets Dan Newman, a sexy surgeon who sends a shock of electricity through her every time they touch.

 

Dan Newman has spent his life struggling to overcome his own crippling past by devoting himself to healing others who have suffered. Now a world-class surgeon, he’s confident in his ability to face anything life throws at him—until he meets a headstrong Texas beauty who has his pulse racing and fills his dreams with impossibly sensual visions.

 

As they fall into a passionate romance that takes them both to the burning edges of pleasure, these two damaged souls must both confront their darkest demons. Because Gayla is haunted by the echoes of being called a failure and torn by the fear that she’ll be rejected once again, and Dan, who has proved his worth to so many others, now must convince himself and Gayla that they deserve the powerful love they’ve found.

 

“Ms. Jacobs skillfully weaves a heartwarming story between these two injured souls.” —Michelle Nauman, Just Erotic Romance Reviews Newsletter

 

This is a fully revised edition of a book originally published as Dallas Heat.

 

Ratings and reviews

Rescuing an Angel is a story of courage, inner strength and acceptance. This was my favorite story out of the entire Oil Barons Series. Gayla has been beating herself up for years with guilt, self-doubt, regret and heartache over one moment that lead her down a treacherous path. Having finally found the peace of mind to forgive herself for something that was not her fault and move on with her life after years of anger and self-abuse was a remarkable feat. Dan is someone who has a good heart but has had to push himself harder than others because of his own physical struggles. Dan and Gayla found each other at the right time. They needed something to believe in and someone to believe in them. There are not many times when I get angry while reading a story but this one had me that way. Ann Jacobs did a wonderful job of showing the ugliness of self-absorbed idiots that believe themselves superior to a that is weaker. It galled me that Gayla did her best and when she needed the people she counted on most to stand behind her, encourage her and guide her they threw her out like yesterday's trash. That is what lead her down the path she took but it also made her a better person. Dan traveled a hard road but it was one of self-discovery that proved rewarding.
