A decorated U.S. Marine reservist, LAPD officer Mike Valenzuela was badly wounded in the line of duty, but has found hope and healing in Virgin River. When he agrees to become the town's first cop, he does so knowing it's time he settled down. Twice divorced and the lover of too many women, he secretly longs for the kind of commitment and happiness his marine buddies have found&#151;a woman who can tie up his heart forever. He finds that woman in Brie Sheridan, a Sacramento prosecutor who understands his drive to protect and serve. Virgin River becomes a safe haven for Brie after nearly losing her life at the hands of a crazed criminal. Though tough and courageous, she's got some fears she can't escape&#151;but now she has someone who will show her just what it means to trust again. Mike will do anything to help Brie free herself from painful memories. Passionate, strong and gentle, he vows to give back to her what she's so selflessly given him&#151;her heart, and with it, a new beginning. 629235 book 1 6 2007 Whispering Rock (Virgin River, #3) total:252|5:110|4:103|3:34|2:5|1:0| 252 1074 347 37 5 4 false false Sun Jul 06 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 11:08:54 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 21:49:59 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Sun May 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 19:49:53 -0700 2008 Mon May 05 11:13:45 -0700 2008
