Summer Wheeler was on a mission coming to Chance, Texas
having spent her last dollar to track down and confront a
man who had played a large role in shaping the woman she was
-- a woman still recovering from the horror of being tied up
while her husband and baby were murdered. Being the sole
survivor of the fire that ultimately destroyed her family
left Summer in a fragile mental state and even years of
therapy didn't eradicate the nightmares that left
her shaken to the core. She tracked through an investigator
what she hoped was the current location of her captor but in
order to continue her search she first needed to establish
temporarily in Chance, get a job and hopefully get the
answers she needed. First person she meets up with is Travis
Chance who immediately caught her eye which surprised her
since she had become basically a loner.
Somehow this take charge cowboy was willing to extend way
more than just your average helping hand to a virtual
stranger by offering her a meal, a place to stay and a
temporary job. Travis liked to think of himself as a good
judge of character and there was something about Summer that
spoke volumes. Even when his brothers questioned his sanity
in inviting this stranger to his home around his daughter,
Travis was not to be budged. His curiosity was spiked and
nothing was going to prevent him from discovering just what
about Summer peaked his interest and if he was completely
honest his attraction. Travis' life has revolved around his
rather precocious daughter Jenna since his divorce and even
though Summer's story didn't totally ring true he went with
his gut. Of course Jenna was less than happy to meet this
newcomer and was actually rude, but somehow Summer saw
through that as a sign of an unhappy little girl who missed
her mother.
Travis was immediately taken by this take charge dynamo that
wasn't afraid of work and immersed her rather quickly in the
household tasks. He did notice her reluctance to getting
close to Jenna but had no idea why that might be.
The more time Summer spends with the Chances the more her
curiosity is peaked over the sometimes awkward dynamics of
the brothers and their history clearly intrigues her.
There's a bit of mystery at the Chance ranch and despite
herself Summer is becoming attached to this hunky man and
reluctantly to his little girl. Perhaps fate has brought
her to a place where she can build a future -- does she dare
hope?
TEXAS MAN HUNT is the second installment of the ongoing
series involving the Chance brothers and it's a winner.
There is still much to uncover in the lives of this family
and lINDA Conrad has done an admirable job of reeling us in
and keeping us on the hook for more. Be prepared to fall in
love with these larger than life cowboys.
Rancher Travis Chance has a soft spot for lost souls.
Stranded and broke in Chance, Texas, Summer Wheeler ignites
in him a fierce desire to protect her. Clearly the fragile
beauty is hiding something. But despite his disastrous
romantic history, Travis knows in his gut he can trust her.
Summer comes to Chance looking for one of the men who
devastated her life. Though she hates lying to him, Travis's
job offer provides a means to her end. But she never counted
on falling for the sexy rancher and his troubled little
girl. Then "accidents" start happening at the family
homestead. Has Summer brought danger to the two people who
are teaching her to love again?
