Sheriff Gavin O’Neal is fed up with the fortune-seeking tourists tearing up his small Texas town, digging for gold reportedly buried generations ago.

Valerie Raines is on a mission to clear the name of her great-great-grandmother, an infamous and hated outlaw. Armed with a treasure map and family clues, she secretly digs.

When a dispute with her landlord forces Valerie to move in with the sheriff, she fights the attraction that would make it all to easy to forget about the need to vindicate her family name.

Gavin is thrilled with the circumstances that have forced Valerie to stay with him. He wants to make the arrangements permanent, but when dead bodies pile up, Valerie emerges as the chief murder suspect.

Will he be forced to arrest the woman he has come to love? Can the heir of an outlaw find happiness with a man sworn to uphold the law?

A MOST SHOCKING REVELATION is a wonderful romance demonstrating dynamic character growth as Gavin and Valerie are forced to examine the very core of their values and beliefs.

Terri Richison writes women's fiction and is pursing a goal of publication with Silhouette Intimate Moments. Telling stories is a life long passion that started when she was a little girl, listening spellbound to the wonderful stories told by her Grandmother, who walked behind a covered wagon from Tennessee to Texas, encountering Indians and other hardships along the trail. Terri works part-time for a small law firm and is a full time slave to her one-hundred pound Lab and two fourteen-year-old Shelties. She has been happily married for over thirty years to her real-life hero, a man who shows her every day that romance is alive and well.
