Heidi Simpson was raised by her grandfather and the people
of the Carnival with whom he traveled and worked. Now Heidi
wants nothing more than to set down roots and make a home.
She thinks she's found what she's looking for when she buys
a ranch and makes friends in Fool's Gold, California. Her
tenderhearted grandfather puts it all at risk when he sells
her ranch to May Stryker to raise money for a friend's
cancer treatment. It wasn't his ranch to sell so, to keep
him out of jail, Heidi must come up with a way to pay the
money back or lose both her home and her business (she's
slowly been developing a line of goat's milk, cheese, and
soap products). May's more than willing to compromise as
long as she can enjoy life on the ranch. It's her son, Rafe
Stryker who's out for blood.
Rafe grew up on the ranch and was happy to leave it all
behind. He's none too thrilled to be back in Fool's Gold in
spite of the fact that people were caring and friendly when
he was young and his family was poor. May lost the ranch
once when the former owner died and did not honor his
promise to leave it to her. Rafe is going to make sure she
isn't cheated out of her home again. Even if it means going
up against a charming, sweet, and annoyingly attractive goat
girl.
SUMMER DAYS is a sweet and tender romance with just the
right hint of passion and alpha male bravado. Rafe, having
spent his youth keeping his family together after the death
of his father, has just a hint of know-what's-best-for-you
arrogance that helps build the emotional tension and gives
him room for growth. Heidi is strong and determined yet has
a soft heart for people and animals. She's more than a
match for Rafe. SUMMER DAYS introduces a number of Stryker
siblings, including an underwear model and dancer, who are
featured in the next few books in the series. Fans of Fool's
Gold will thoroughly enjoy this latest visit to the small
town in California known for its festivals and man shortage.
Locked in an unexpected land dispute, Rafe Stryker is
trapped in the one place he vowed never to return to – the
Castle Ranch in Fool’s Gold, California. He made millions
facing ruthless adversaries in the boardroom, but nothing
could’ve prepared him to go head-to-head against stubborn,
beautiful Heidi Simpson. No one is more surprised than Rafe
to discover that he’s finding Heidi – and life as a cowboy
– much more compelling than he wants to admit.
For Heidi,
the Castle Ranch is the home she’s always wanted. After a
life on the road, the vivacious blonde has finally put down
roots. She won’t give that up without a fight, not even for
a man whose late-night kisses make her yearn to be a little
less…wholesome. As the two turn from passionate adversaries
to passionate, period, they’ll discover that summer love
can last a lifetime.
I absolutely love Fool's Gold and Summer Days was such a great book. Susan has done such a great job bringing the town to life so much that it makes you want to find it! :) (Stephanie G 3:13pm July 29, 2012)
