FREE PREVIEW OF THE FIRST 5 CHAPTERS

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown comes a gripping story of family ties and forbidden attraction.


A Texas Ranger, relegated to deskwork due to past recklessness, petitions to regain custody of his five-year-old daughter, and his case is assigned to a family court judge who is as attractive as she is ambitious. When a masked gunman barges in during the custody hearing with his sights on the judge, the Ranger reacts instinctually and goes after him. But authorities apprehend the wrong man, and the real gunman remains unknown, at large, and a threat. Will this take-charge lawman jeopardize his chances of custody by going after the would-be assassin? And will this unlikely pair be able to deny the forbidden attraction building between them?

Boring

Boring. Expected more from her. Have read many of her other books, but this one fell short of what I expected from her.
