وصف الناشر
A cowboy with a troubled past and the woman he can’t resist find love and second chances in Rough Creek, Texas, from the beloved and award winning author of Western romance, Kaki Warner.
After serving eighteen months in prison for a crime he didn't commit, Dalton Cardwell is looking for a fresh start. What better place than Whitcomb Four Star Ranch? He doesn't regret the decisions of his past--he'd choose the same roads again. But now all Dalton wants is to keep his head down and focus on the horses--and on Raney Whitcomb.
Raney is outraged when she learns her mother hired an ex-con. Raney has worked hard for the ranch, sacrificing her personal life for the dream of building on her family's legacy. But as Dalton breaks down every misconception and even wins the good opinion of her sisters, Raney is forced to rethink her stance--and finally free herself to explore the heart-pounding tension that simmers between them.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Known for writing historical romance, Warner kicks off her first contemporary series with this delightful western about an ex-con cowboy working to get his life back on track. Dalton Cardwell served 18 months for a crime he didn't commit. Upon his release, he returns home to Rough Creek, Tex., and discovers that his parents have sold the family ranch. Dalton seeks employment as a horse trainer at the nearby Whitcomb Four Star ranch. The Whitcomb matriarch, Coralee, agrees to give him a chance, much to the chagrin of her daughter, Raney. Though Raney is skeptical about hiring an ex-con, she's reluctantly attracted to Dalton. And as Dalton proves to be an asset as a horse trainer and a playful presence around the ranch, Raney warms to him even more, and their mutual interest evolves first into friendship, then into love. Warner (Where the Horses Run) allows her flawed but endearing characters to drive the plot of this convincing, banter-filled romance. Readers will be eager to return to Rough Creek.
