The Mounties #1 UNEXPECTED TEMPTATION Freshly graduated from medical school and eager to bury his sorrow over a tragedy in his past, Colin Fraser impulsively joined the Northwest Mounted Police. Now, a nighttime raid by his detachment on a large bootleg whiskey operation has netted more than gallons of liquor. The patrol has brought back a desperately ill bootlegger--and a young woman no less! Even as he tenderly nurses her back to health, beautiful, defiant Maggie Hayes, who is as wild and untamed as the province itself, stubbornly resists his efforts to teach her a new way of life. Despite himself, Colin is falling in love with his patient... because Maggie has found a way to heal the healer's heart.
