Renegade

Renegade by Diana Palmer 297 p. The police chief of Jacobsville Texas is Cash Grier. The spoiled starlet that was first introduced in Palmer's novel Lawless, is Tippy Moore. Both are certain they don't want anything to do with the opposite sex. Cash was badly hurt by his first wife and Tippy had been abused by her stepfather, so they both have lots of baggage from the past. Tippy is raising her little brother and ends up staying with Chief Grier for protection. They fall for each other and end up married.
