Cowboy Eli Turnbull isn't thrilled to be working for
Victoria Baker, the penniless widow of a financier who
committed suicide after being caught running a Ponzi scheme.
The only things she has left are her son and the Crooked
Creek ranch, her birthright and last hope. Eli has worked
the ranch for years and sees it as his birthright since the
land originally belonged to his family. They have wanted it
back for generations.
Victoria's plan to turn the ranch into a spa adds fuel to
the fire that burns in Eli. He finds himself waging a war
against Victoria and doing things he's not so proud of. The
attraction that flares up every time they are together
doesn't help matters. How do two feuding people deal with
their passionate impulses? Can they figure it out before
they both lose everything that really matters?
CAN'T HURRY LOVE is passionate story that will tug at your
heartstrings. The story brings back two wounded and
struggling characters we first met in Can't Buy Me
Love. Eli, having been abandoned by his mother at a
young boy, isn't sure he trusts the whole idea of love.
Victoria was deeply hurt by her husband's betrayal but must
build a future for her son. The transition of their
relationship from antagonistic to passionate occurs as a
natural result of their each characters personal growth.
Together they come to recognize and trust their second
chances in more ways than one.
From award-winning author Molly O’Keefe comes a
wonderfully written contemporary romance about second
chances at life and at love.
Victoria
Baker, the penniless widow of a disgraced financier, is
ready to stand up, be counted, and make a new life for
herself and her beloved son in Texas. She’s taking over
Crooked Creek ranch, her birthright, and turning it into
something special. All that stands in her way is Eli
Turnbull, a rugged, too-handsome cowboy who wants the land
just as badly.
If Victoria wants a
fight, Eli will give her one. He’s devoted his life to
Crooked Creek, and he’s not about to let some pampered city
girl—even one as brave and beautiful as Victoria—turn it
into some silly spa. But Victoria’s and Eli’s burning anger
and frustration only fuel heat of another kind:
uncontrollable passion. And soon they each realize that the
person standing in their way is the one they can never do
without.
