Dallas McCray is the least personable of the brothers, partly to do with the fact that he was mostly given the responsibility of looking after his younger brothers and his father was not a very nice man.
He has recently divorce his greedy and lying wife and finds himself envying his brother, who has a family of his own. He wants to find a sweet country girl like Dusty, but it is the new veterinarian, Annie DeSimone from New Jersey, who gets his heart racing. She is also recently divorce and is not looking for any man, but the chemistry between them is irresistible. Things are running hot and furious, until a innocent remark, makes Dallas pull away, not knowing that by doing so, he has put Annie in danger.
A fast read, with lively banter. Dallas keeps saying he doesn't make the same mistake twice, but with Annie he keeps repeating his, without even realizing it until, until he almost losers her and his sister-in-law has to give him a metaphorical smack on the side of his head.
