Horse Ranch Hideout
They’ll risk everything…
to bring down an arms ring
Harc Taylor may have traded his CIA agent status for a horse ranch, but teaming up with computer guru Nicole Compton to topple an international arms ring is a no-brainer. If only Nicole’s latest computer program hadn’t placed her firmly in the criminals’ crosshairs. Forced into deep hiding and then on the run, they quickly learn stopping a multibillion-dollar operation is as challenging as halting their rising attraction. But Harc will not sacrifice the woman he’s come to love…no matter how high the stakes.
From Harlequin Romantic Danger. Passion. Drama.

About the author
Tara Taylor Quinn
374 books1,458 followersTara Taylor Quinn began her love affair with Harlequin when she was fourteen years old and picked up a free promotional copy of a Harlequin Romance in a hometown grocery store. The relationship was solidified the year she was suspended from her high school typing class for hiding a Harlequin Romance behind the keys of her electric typewriter. Unaware that her instructor loomed close by, Ms. Quinn read blissfully on with one finger resting on the automatic repeating period key. She finished the book in the principal’s office. Forced to leave her romances in her locker after that, Ms. Quinn’s typing skills improved - a fact for which she is eternally grateful.

Nicole Compton is the name change the former Charlotte Duran has used to escape the lie of a life she has lived for many years. A DNA test put her in touch with the older sister she never knew she had. She also learned more about the life her father was covering up all these years. Yes, he had pampered her, but she always felt alone without other siblings or a mother.
Now, she is on a mission to bring down the evil empire her father has built. She enlists the help of a former CIA agent, Harc Taylor. Harc is trying to live a calm life now on a ranch with horses. He reluctantly agrees to help Nicole. This sets them off on a treacherous journey where it's hard to see where danger is or who they can trust. Will being in close quarters in hidden areas protect them or spark a flame between them?
Nicole's skill is being a top notch hacker who can uncover important information. Besides being strong and capable, Harc has an eidetic memory which sure comes in handy. Both main characters seem quite capable and intelligent, but have kept their emotions uncover often to prevent hurt.
The horses in this book provide help in carrying Harc and Nicole where they need to go and are also first alert animals. Animals in stories always add extra charm.
More than romance, HORSE RANCH HIDEOUT is full of heart pounding suspense that will keep the reader quickly turning the pages to get to the end. Along the way you can learn many interesting tidbits. This book is #20 in the Sierra's Web series. I didn't know that when I read the novel. It read like a standalone.
Thanks to Tara Taylor Quinn and her staff for providing me with an early digital copy. It was such a pleasure meeting the author at a recent book convention. I hope to read more of her captivating tales in the near future.

It took me awhile to get into this book but I'm glad I stuck with it. There were several surprising twists that I never saw coming.
