Publisher Description
He's come back to Copper Ridge, Oregon to keep a promise – even if it means losing his heart…
Putting down roots in Copper Ridge was never Alex Donnelly's intention. But if there's one thing the ex–military man knows, it's that life rarely unfolds as expected. If it did, his best friend and brother–in–arms would still be alive. And Alex wouldn't have inherited a ranch or responsibility for his late comrade's sister – a woman who, despite her inexperience, can bring tough–as–iron Alex to his knees.
Clara Campbell didn't ask for a hero to ride in and fix her ranch and her life. All she wants is the one thing stubborn, honourable Alex is reluctant to give: a chance to explore their intense chemistry. But Clara has a few lessons to teach him too…about trusting his heart and his instincts, and letting love take him on the wildest adventure of all.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Yates's ninth Copper Ridge novel (after Down Home Cowboy) is full of plausible characters faced with relatable problems. Alex Donnelly has come to Copper Ridge, Ore., to claim his inheritance with his brothers and keep a promise to a military buddy who was killed in combat. Before Jason Campbell died, he asked Alex to help his sister, Clara Campbell, keep their family ranch running. Clara is reluctant to accept Alex's help, though the ranch is struggling and the unpaid bills are piling up. She's currently infatuated with a local barista, but she notices how solid and dependable Alex is. Clara and Alex gradually realize and succumb to their mutual attraction, but he's reluctant to continue their relationship, as he's convinced he has nothing to offer her. Yates makes it easy to believe in the magnetism between Alex and Clara as they come to understand the power and meaning of real love.
