The lonesome rancher

by Patricia Thayer

Sloan Merrick may be from Kerry Springs' most famous family, but he's happiest alone on his ranch. After his ex's betrayal, he's determined not to fall again--but the intriguing Jade Hamilton is hard to resist! Jade is in Kerry Springs to find out the truth about her past, not to fall in love! Yet she's increasingly drawn to Sloan, and starts to feel that she belongs in Kerry Springs--and in his arms. But in her past lurks a secret that could break Sloan's heart.
