Posing as a ranch hand to catch some thieves on Elyse Graham's ranch— the woman with whom he once spent a passionate night—Texas Ranger Nathan Wellesley finds himself drawn once again to the beautiful widow and her illegitimate baby.
Back Cover Synopsis:
Elyse Graham has sworn to protect her fugitive brother at any cost. Then, in the midst of a raging storm, lawman Nathan Wellesley comes seeking shelter . . . and his tender need awakens feelings Elyse had thought long buried. Soon the storm without is matched by the one within, as two lonely people live a breathless dream of passion. But as a dangerous destiny tears them from each other's arms, Elyse and Nathan must find a way to hold onto their dream—and the love that comes along only once in a lifetime.
This was good. Finished in less than a day. At times I felt frustrated with Elyse, the heroine, but I could always count of Nathan, the hero. With his common sense and communication he was a reliable lead. I really liked their little family. But what I really liked and also liked best was the plot. Such an interesting one, and the pacing held it together nicely. All in all, a good book. It wasn’t perfect, but good. Conflicts (some unnecessary) didn’t last long at least. I’d have rated it 5 stars if it wouldn’t have been for some of them coupled with Elyse’s impulsive, thoughtless, and often also reckless behavior.
