Producer Victoria Calhoun couldn't care less that famous strut-his-stuff cowboy Clint Griffin doesn't remember her. Or the kiss they shared. And she really doesn't care that he didn't call her afterward. Seriously, the kiss meant that much to her, too.
Still, all that history makes working with him awkward—if you call it work, watching him parade around on her reality TV show. Clint seems to be trying to convince her he's much more than his swagger. But she definitely won't be falling for his charms again…even if the way he looks at her makes her want to believe him. She'll do her job and get out with her heart firmly in hand. Too bad her heart seems to have its own ideas….

This story begins slowly but picks up speed as the action on the set of a reality TV show heats up. Key players are producer Victoria Calhoun, who's harbored a crush on the key star Clint Griffin, a bad boy cowboy fallen on hard times, or so the tabloids would imply. Other important players include his family members including niece, Trish (who may not be), and sister Susie, who insists on being the star though she really isn't and Victoria's assistant (who doesn't) and the cameraman who wants to get it on with Susie, but doesn't.
Frustrated by Victoria's presence, Clint wants her for himself and not just because she intends to show him as a nice guy, even promising to highlight his Horse Therapy ranch for disabled kids. But she doesn't trust that he won't kiss and then leave--just like he did years ago.
How they resolve both the reality TV show in spite of the problems created by Susie, the assistant and the big boss, and their own personal demons provides a satisfying ending to the story.
OMG, I freaking loved this book! It is by far my favorite read of this year! The suspense and twists held my interest just right. Clint Griffin has it all and nothing at the same time. I would love to read a sequel and find out what happens to the family once all is revealed. This is one of those books that grabbed my attention and didn't let go until I finished it!
She's the producer of a reality show. He's a heart throb retired (hurt) rodeo cowboy for the show. He has sisters who live in other houses on the ranch as does his mother. There's a story here. There are secrets too. Can she uncover the real story without seeming cruel or mean?
She encountered him years ago. Can she protect her own heart while doing her job?
