Publisher Description
In Copper Ridge, Oregon, a cowboy's best friend might turn out to be the woman of his dreams…
If Finn Donnelly makes a plan, he sticks to it. After his brothers left Copper Ridge, Finn stayed behind, determined to keep their ranch going by himself. And when he realized his feelings for Lane Jensen were more than platonic, he shoved that inconvenient desire away. It was easy…until it wasn't. Suddenly his brothers are coming home to claim their share of the property. And Lane is no longer just in his fantasies. She's in his arms, and their friendship is on the line…
He's been her buddy, her handyman, her rock. But until that one breathtaking kiss, Lane somehow overlooked the most important thing about Finn Donnelly—he's all man. They're right together, no matter how much his volatile past has bruised him. Finn wants to hold Lane's body, but he doesn't want to hold her heart. But Lane is falling fast and now she's got a plan of her own…to show Finn there's nothing hotter than friendship turned to slow-burning love.
Also includes a bonus Copper Ridge novel, Take Me, Cowboy!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Yates's thrilling seventh Copper Ridge contemporary (after Last Chance Rebel) proves that friendship can evolve into scintillating romance. Finn Donnelly is looking forward to continuing to run the Laughing Irish Ranch in Copper Ridge, Ore., just as he did when his grandfather was alive. But his grandfather's will gives equal portions to his brothers, and Finn is surprised to learn that they aren't interested in having him buy them out and want to work the land alongside him. To complicate matters, Finn has become increasingly attracted to his best friend of 10 years, Lane Jensen. He realizes that the attraction is mutual when they engage in a very electric kiss, but both Lane and Finn have baggage from the past that makes it difficult for them to trust in the possibilities of an enduring relationship. Their gradual realizations about the inevitable arc of their connection are alternately comical and sensuous. It's rare to see a long-standing friendship at the heart of a romance novel, and Yates does it justice with page-turning dialogue and a supporting cast of well-developed characters. This is a surefire winner not to be missed.
