It's the annual 4th of July parade, the first for the
Chance brothers since the death of their father. Gabe finds
some relief from the grief of the moment when he encounters
Morgan O'Connelli. Morgan has returned to Jackson Hole,
Wyoming, to open a real estate business, and Gabe is
intrigued by the woman on the feisty horse in the too-small
shirt. Between enticing glances of her considerable assets
and calming the horse, Gabe decides Morgan is someone he
wants to get to know better. A lot better. And Morgan is
more than a little eager to explore her high-school crush
on the sexy rodeo rider. Unfortunately, the Chance clan has
had their fill of real estate vultures and lump Morgan in
with that lot, discouraging her from pursuing the sexy
cowboy.
Gabe didn't get where he is on the rodeo circuit without a
lot of determination, and he pursues Morgan with the same
single-minded determination. Before long, they're burning
up the sheets in their "friends with benefits"
relationship. Both are sure they don't want anything more
than a brief fling, despite the fact that those around them
believe they're in it for the long haul. All too soon,
they're going to have to confront their pasts and decide
where their futures are going.
Vicki Lewis Thompson's second book in the Last
Chance Ranch trilogy is a funny, sexy story of two people
meant for one another but unable to recognize the truth
until it's almost too late. Gabe is caught up with what he
wants for his future, and Morgan's life is shaped by much
of what happened in her past. When Gabe's family decides to
interfere in their relationship, the two come to realize
the most important thing is how they feel about one
another. Ms. Thompson has written a steamy, thoughtful
story of the power of family and love that will leave
readers wanting more.
Morgan O'Connelli hated the restless lifestyle she'd had as
a child. All she wants now is to create a real home in
small-town Wyoming. So first she hangs up her real-estate
agent shingle…then she promptly borrows the horse of the
hottest cowboy in town!
Cutting-horse champion Gabe Chance is blown away by the
feisty redhead who unexpectedly lands right in his bed…and,
soon enough, his heart! Morgan's perfect for him in every
way. Until he realizes that while she's turned out to be
everything he never knew he wanted, he's got everything
someone in her profession has ever wanted…his family's ranch.
And that's a legacy he's just not willing to give up—not
even for the sexiest woman he's ever fallen for….
