Romance

When Peggy McBride moves to Dare Valley, Colorado, the last thing she wants is to meet a man. If she’s learned one thing from her divorce, it’s that love is a messy business, and as a single mom and the new deputy sheriff, she has her hands full. But when hotel magnate and poker player Mac Maven moves to town, she becomes enthralled by the very last man she would ever consider dating...

Mac Maven has come to Dare with ambitious plans for his new project, the restoration of The Grand Mountain Hotel as a boutique poker venue. Only one person offers him a less than warm welcome: Deputy Sheriff Peggy McBride, who is dead set against gambling. But although Peggy’s a fierce opponent, Mac senses a tenderness and passion within her that he longs to free. Having helped his sister raise her teenage son, he understands Peggy, and can see past her tough–as–nails exterior.

When a threat to Mac’s hotel surfaces, he and Peggy must join forces to find out who’s responsible. Working together ignites the white–hot connection between them, and their cooperation takes a decidedly personal turn. But can Mac convince Peggy to set their differences aside and take a gamble on love?

Re: The Grand Opening

If I believed a man wasn't good for my community, I would try to find out a bit more about him, to make sure I was absolutely sure about my gut feeling, to make sure that I had facts to back up my feelings. Then I would suppose that I would get people to help back me up after I was positive. As for your books, I remember reading about the reviews from your first one, and completely forgot that I was supposed to put my hands on it!! Now that you came here to talk about your latest book, it's like a giant post-it note for me, and I have 3 books for my TBR list!! They all sound like great reads to kick off my Fall with, and I can't wait!! Thank you for coming here, and reminding me about your books!! Congratulations on your latest book, too!! I'm sure it'll be one not to miss!!

Wow! I'm a fan of Nora Roberts. She's a great author. I just love her as much as i love JD ROBB :D.
I'll follow my insting. It just to good to let him away if u really feels like that man. There's always the way u can change what people think. And i believe,as long as i'm sure enough about my feeling to that man, i'll keep to fight it
