A cowboy with a lot to prove meets his match when he falls for a mysterious beauty...
The truth about his family’s past has always haunted rancher Frankie Hastings. Determined to prove what happened more than a century ago, the black-sheep brother plans to chronicle the story in a documentary. But a mysterious descendant connected to that truth could jeopardize everything. So charming Kate West becomes the first step in securing her support. Falling for the gorgeous skeptic is a welcome follow-up. And yet, despite their electric attraction, it’s clear Kate’s mind is filled with things beyond their sizzling kisses. Then his simple project turns deadly and Frankie has more questions than answers. Like how far will he go to protect the woman he suddenly can’t live without?
He could not shake the feeling something was wrong or deny his desire to try to get her to open up.
“See you tomorrow,” she said, still holding on to her pack.
“It shouldn’t take me long,” he said. “I’ll be back before noon.”
“Noon,” she repeated as though committing it to memory.
“Yes. Well, good night,” he said, and damn if he didn’t feel a pull toward touching her lips with his, and double damn if she didn’t seem to broadcast the hope he would do just that.
They both stepped back at the same time. As he walked down the short hallway back to the kitchen, he heard the door close and the lock click behind him.
He’d never been around a woman who sent so many mixed messages. Messages he was desperate to explore.
