Sherry Forrester has her life just as she wants it. No attachments. No pressure from her parents to marry. A little bit of money and the freedom to be the lady she desires. When a stranger rolls into town, mysterious and gorgeous, her interest is piqued. Sherry swore she wouldn't give away her heart, but she longs for one night of passion, and the newcomer is perfectly capable of supplying that.
Texas Ranger Luke "Rip" Calhoun is hoping for a few diverting weeks in Pikes Run. Along with promising to help the local sheriff catch a wily garter thief, he looks for challenging card games, good whiskey and a willing woman. When Sherry Forrester catches his eye—who wouldn't want her after stumbling upon her skinny dipping?—he does the hardest thing ever and waits for her to choose him to warm her sheets for a night. And only one night. For Luke made a long-ago vow never to let love ensnare him.
But what neither plans on is the hand of fate changing their paths…
Kara O'Neal was born and raised in Texas. She loves reading, writing, and spending time with her family. (She also spends way too much time on her Netflix account!)
This is the first story I read by Kara O'Neal and I loved it! I was intrigued by the story of a Texas Ranger and a garter bandit. I laughed, I cried, I rooted for the good guy to over come the bad guys. But most of all I rooted for Sherry and Luke to find love. There's never a dull moment in this story. I'm anxious to read more of Kara's books.
