Publisher Description
Locked in an unexpected land dispute, Rafe Stryker is trapped in the one place he vowed never to return to–the Castle Ranch in Fool's Gold, California. He made millions facing ruthless adversaries in the boardroom, but nothing could've prepared him to go head–to–head against stubborn, beautiful Heidi Simpson. No one is more surprised than Rafe to discover that he's finding Heidi–and life as a cowboy–much more compelling than he wants to admit.
For Heidi, the Castle Ranch is the home she's always wanted. After a life on the road, the vivacious blonde has finally put down roots. She won't give that up without a fight, not even for a man whose late–night kisses make her yearn to be a little less…wholesome.
As the two turn from passionate adversaries to passionate, period, they'll discover that summer love can last a lifetime.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mallery opens her third trilogy set in Fool's Gold, Calif. (after Only His), with a tender tale based on a flawed premise. Heidi Simpson's grandfather Glen sold part of her ranch to May Stryker without Heidi's knowledge, and even though it's her name on the deed to help a friend pay for cancer treatment. May's son Rafe, a ruthless, savvy businessman, nonetheless co-signed the papers without reading them. When he realizes the sale isn't legitimate, he reluctantly returns to the town of his miserable, impoverished childhood to have Glen arrested. Heidi must find a way to pay May back so Glen won't go to prison; she also, implausibly, fears losing the ranch altogether. Mallery infuses her story with eccentricity, gentle humor, and smalltown shenanigans, and readers undeterred by the flimsy underpinnings will enjoy the connection between Heidi and Rafe, two proud, hardworking people wary of romantic love who willingly sacrifice for their families.
