Book Description:
Luke Pelletier is
settling into his new life as a rancher and occasional Pinkerton Agent, leaving
his past as an ex-Confederate major and Texas Ranger far behind. He wants
nothing more than to work the ranch, charm the ladies, and live a life of
carefree bachelorhood.
Ginny Sorensen
has accepted her responsibility as the sole provider for herself and her
younger sister. The desire to continue their journey to Oregon is crushed when
the need for food and shelter keeps them in the growing frontier town of
Splendor, Montana, forcing Ginny to accept work as a server in the local
saloon.
Luke has never
met a woman as lovely and unspoiled as Ginny. He longs to know her, yet fears
his wild ways and unsettled nature aren’t what she deserves. She’s a girl you
marry, but that is nowhere in Luke’s plans.
Complicating their tenuous friendship, a
twist in circumstances forces Ginny closer
to the man she most wants to avoid—the man who can destroy her dreams, and
who’s captured her heart.
Believing his
bachelor status firm, Luke moves from danger to adventure, never dreaming each
step he takes brings him closer to his true destiny and a life much different
from what he imagines.
Excerpt:
“Hold it right there.”
Ginny froze, not recognizing the deep
growl coming from behind her.
“Put your hands up and turn around.”
She did as he asked, her heart
pounding, wondering if someone had slipped by Hank to come in the front door.
Slowly she turned, raising her eyes to meet those of the man holding a gun on
her. Her breath caught at the sight of Luke, his face hard, his mouth in a thin
line. She could see the instant recognition dawned. He lowered the gun in a
quick motion and slammed it into the holster.
“What the hell are you doing here?
And why are you dressed like that?”
She swallowed the hard lump in her
throat and took in a shuttering breath, anger replacing the fear she’d felt.
“You scared the daylights out of me,”
she hissed and pulled the hat off her head, exposing soft brown wisps of hair
which had escaped the loose bun.
He held his ground, taking in the
sight of her in men’s trousers, a too big shirt haphazardly tucked inside and
held together by a wide leather belt. The coat he’d given her covered the
ridiculous outfit. He let his gaze wander over her, his eyes softening at the
same time his body tightened—a reaction he was powerless to control.
“I asked what you’re doing here,
sneaking around the house. Stealing?”
“I am not stealing,” she threw back at him. “I work here.”
“What?” His voice took on a hard edge
as his eyes narrowed, signaling his disbelief.
“Dax and Rachel hired me to take on
Bernice’s job.”
He took a step forward, then thought
better of it, crossing his arms over his chest, planting his feet shoulder width
apart. Frustration warred with the desire he felt toward her. This was not what
he’d expected to come home to—Ginny living at the ranch. It slammed into him
that he’d see her every day, obliged to be around her, and forced to fight his
constant attraction toward her. His jaw hardened as he processed the
implication of her new position. He didn’t like it. Not one bit.
“We’ll see about that.” He turned and
stormed from the room, walking into the study, slamming the door behind him.
