Publisher Description
USA Today bestselling author Caitlin Crews returns with Summer Nights with a Cowboy, another emotional romance in her stunning cowboy series Kittredge Ranch….
He doesn’t believe in love…
Traveling nurse Janie Atwood has come to Cold River to uncover old family secrets and maybe, if she’s lucky, find a new home. That the gorgeous, glowering sheriff next door thinks her caring for his elderly neighbor is a nefarious scheme is a bonus. Having never been anything but a good girl, Janie finds Zack Kittredge’s simmering suspicion an excellent reason to try being a little dangerous instead…
She doesn’t believe in squandering it…
Sheriff Zack Kittredge is okay with being… intense. He takes his loner status as seriously as he takes his responsibilities to protect Cold River. And he thinks cheerful Janie might be a threat to the town. But the more he gets to know her, the more he faces the truth—she’s brighter than sunshine and he’s like a moth to her flame. When Janie suggests he could use a few charm school lessons, he surprises them both by accepting. He doesn’t need help. But it’s clear he might need her…
Because the only thing hotter than the summer sun in the Rockies is the forbidden passion that burns between them…
“This steamy tale proves opposites attract.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on All Night Long with a Cowboy
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Crews polishes off her steamy Kittridge Ranch trilogy with this breathless and arousing tale of old secrets and new beginnings (after All Night Long with a Cowboy). Traveling nurse Janie Atwood ostensibly arrives in Cold River, Colo., to care for octogenarian Damaris Gardner, but she has an ulterior motive: investigating her possible connection to one of the town's founding families. Drop-dead gorgeous Sheriff Zack Kittridge, who lives like a monk in Cold River while taking his (admittedly "a little bit dirty") pleasures outside the county to avoid gossip, is distrustful of her from the start. Gradually, however, his suspicions that Janie's taking advantage of Damaris dissipate and the less experienced Janie's fear that all men will forever see her as a kid sister dissolves in the face of his interest in her. Their mutual desire swells until Zack wants to "bathe" in her and Janie feels "plugged into an electric outlet." In Zack, Crews handily delivers Damaris's definition of a perfect man: "a gentleman on the street but a cowboy in the sheets." It's not all blistering heat, however; subplots about Damaris's feelings on aging, Zack's adulterous father, and Zack's brothers and friends helping him to reestablish his family ranching ties add depth. This lusty romance is sure to fulfill some fantasies.
