Jess McKettrick has everything going for him. Certainly
great looks thanks to the McKettrick gene pool. Great wealth
thanks to the millions he inherited upon turning twenty
five. Add to that the undeniable intelligence and legal
sense gained from his collegiate years and you have a pretty
incredible guy with a rather rosy future. So why then has he
spent most of his adult years honing a rather dubious
talent, poker? Jesse has unquestionably added to his all
ready sizeable wealth with his poker tournament winnings and
his acquisition of some 500 acres of prime Indian Rock land
is proof. However, someone else is also very interested in
this parcel of unspoiled land and will do just about
anything to get it. Enter Cheyenne Bridges -- or should we
say reenter -- since Cheyenne spent most of her youth in
Indian Rocks as well. Cheyenne was from the wrong side of
the tracks, if there actually were tracks, and her childhood
was legends apart from the McKettrick's clan. But that
didn't prevent her from fantasizing about Jesse who was her
dream guy. Cheyenne's father was a poker playing loser and
his family often paid the price for his gambling habit but
she learned much about the game as her fathers oft times
poker companion. She had an abiding hatred for the game and
its effects on the winners as well as losers. She is
returning to Indian Rock at the insistence of her boss
Nigel, a land developer whose newest client has their heart
set on a condo plan built on the very parcel of land Jesse
has acquired. If she is successful Cheyenne stands to make
enough money to finally help secure the future of her mother
and brother. But if she fails then she realizes she is back
to square one. Both Cheyenne and Jesse are about to face the
biggest gamble of their lives and most at stake is their
developing fondness for each other. In the game of life
where trust is most valued they will both be playing for
rather high stakes -- their future.
MCKETTRICK'S LUCK is the first of a trilogy featuring the
clan's adult male cousins who have followed varied paths in
their lives but ultimately return home to their roots in
Indian Rock. Miller's fans will once again be treated to
their ability to close ranks around each other, the abiding
love and closeness of this wonderful family. Mess with one
McKettrick and you mess with them all. While Jesse and
Cheyenne's story is a great one I can hardly wait to see
what Miller has in store for Rance and Keegan, the key
characters in the next two installments of this wonderful
series.
Like his celebrated ancestors who tamed the wilds of
Arizona, Jesse McKettrick's Indian Rock ties run deep. The
triple M Ranch is in his blood, along with the thrill of
risk. But with his land at stake, Jesse won't get involved
in Cheyenne Bridge's scheme -- despite the temptation she
brings.
Cheyenne grew up in Indian Rock and left its
painful memories behind to become a self-made woman. Now her
job is to convince Jesse to sell his property. Jesse's not
the kind of man Cheyenne could ever forget, but he's too
wild and dangerous for a woman committed to playing it safe.
Yet sparks of attraction fly, tempting Cheyenne to lay it
all on the line for the passion she sees in Jesse's eyes.
