Books like Night Fever by Diana Palmer

Rebecca Cullen has always felt her life was manageable: a full‑time job, two teenage brothers, a grandfather on the farm, and a quiet, secluded existence in rural Georgia. When her brother Clay is arrested on drug charges, the family’s routine is shattered. The case falls under the hard‑line district attorney Rourke Kilpatrick, whose reputation for relentless prosecution of drug dealers is notorious. Despite Rourke’s tough exterior, Rebecca finds herself drawn to his confident demeanor, and their interactions bring a new, undeniable attraction to her life. As their relationship deepens, Rebecca must decide whether her feelings are genuine, or if Rourke’s legal drive is simply a tool to get close to her as he pursues Clay’s case. The story follows Rebecca’s struggle to reconcile her love for her brother, her duty to her family, and her growing desire for a man who could offer her a new future.
