Blue Clouds by Patricia Rice

Blue Clouds, by Patricia Rice.   The verbal stabs between the two main characters were highly entertaining.  Neither person gave an inch, yet both gave a mile.  She leaves her home and life to escape a violent boyfriend who won't give up and as a member of a police force,  has connections to pursue her.  Her new job, a continent away, pits her against a bossy, head-strong, mysterious, but rich and wealthy man.  Her job is to care for his disabled son, whom he has spoiled and isolated.  His community considers him their enemy, his ex-wife if after him and wants their son, her ex-boy friend is a out there on the prowl, the child needs help, and the two are always at odds with each other.   A fun read.  8+ out of 10.  Recommended.
