The New York Times bestselling queen of romantic
suspense returns with a heart-racing tale in which a
former
soldier turned rancher and a beautiful designer race to
stop
a vicious killer—a battle for survival that threatens to
explode in an intense and irresistible passion.
An
art
dealer and owner of her own design studio, Perfect Touch,
Sara Medina travels the world to find the ideal artwork
for
her clients. Her sophisticated, comfortable life in San
Francisco is light years away from the poverty of her
family’s dairy farm, and Sara will do whatever it takes
to
keep her business strong. A dedicated urban career woman
focused on her work, she doesn’t have time or energy for
a
family or distracting romantic entanglements.
Jay
Vermillion recently inherited Vermillion Sky, a working
ranch near Wyoming’s breathtaking Grand Teton Mountains—
and
the estates of the rich and restless. While he was
fighting
in two wars, his father tried to keep the homestead
running,
until illness stole his fight and then his life. Jay’s
determined to restore Vermillion Sky, but first he’s got
to
settle a vicious battle with his former stepmother over
some
of his late father’s paintings. The last thing on his
mind
is a finding a wife and creating a seventh generation of
Vermillions.
When Jay hires Sara to handle his
father’s artwork, it’s love at first sight—a mutually
inconvenient attraction that is soon complicated by a
double
murder at the edge of the ranch and a potential betrayal
even closer to home. Working together to unmask a
murderer,
Sara and Jay try to fight the intense heat between them.
Then the killer targets Sara. And suddenly, Jay, the
war-weary soldier, finds something he’s once again
willing
to die for . . .
