Description de l’éditeur
The renegade cowboy returns
It’s been nine years since Trask Beaumont left Gilt Edge, Montana, with an unsolved crime in his wake, and Lillian Cahill has convinced herself she’s finally over him. But when the rugged cowboy with the easy smile suddenly shows up at her bar, there’s a pang in her heart arguing the attraction never faded. And that’s dangerous, because Trask has returned on a mission to clear his name and win Lillie back.
Tired of running, Trask knows he must uncover the truth of the past before he can hope for a future with the woman he’s never forgotten. But if Lillie’s older brother, the sheriff, learns that Trask is back in town, he’ll arrest him for murder. Now Trask is looking for a showdown, and he won’t leave town again without one—or without Lillie.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This complex introduction to Daniels's Cahill Ranch contemporary romantic suspense series is heavy on the thrills and light on the love. Fugitive Trask Beaumont returns to Gilt Edge, Mont., to clear his name and reclaim his first and only love, Lillian Cahill, whom he left without a goodbye in order to protect her from the mess his life had always been. Trask's parents all but abandoned him when he was growing up, and he became a hot-headed troublemaker, but he has matured during his nine years away. Lillian's reluctant to trust him with her heart again, but she can't deny her attraction to him. She's always loved Trask, despite her brothers' objections. Unfortunately, one of those brothers happens to be the sheriff. While keeping Trask's return a secret, the lovers embark on their own investigation of the murder that he's charged with, ultimately putting both their lives in danger. Meanwhile, a missing woman and a conniving ex-wife keep the sheriff busy and gossipy locals talking. Daniels (the Montana Hamiltons series) includes an array of interesting characters with questionable behavior. Readers expecting a romance will be disappointed that the suspense plot overshadows it.
