Summer Wheeler, widow of the Eastern mob boss's son, lost
her whole life 5 years ago. An attack from the mob left her
husband dead and her little girl perished in a fire.
Physically abused and tied up in the basement, Summer barely
escaped with her own life, albeit with severe burns.
Spending all her insurance money, she searches in Texas
where it is rumored one of the men responsible for her
misfortune is hiding. Determination keeps her riveted on
having him apprehended by the law to serve justice. Broken
down beside the back road, her savior is Travis Chance from
the Bar-C Ranch.
Travis's reaction to Summer kicks his blood pounding in his
veins. A single dad of 7 year old Jenna is known for saving
lost souls and picking up strays. All but the actual town of
Chance is owned by the Chance brothers who operate a huge
ranch. Travis hiring Summer to help with his daughter and
chores around the house will allow her to pay for car
repairs while she uses Travis in furthering her search for
"Hoss", the second man from the attack. Sexual attraction
followed by mind blowing sex isn't far behind for Summer and
Travis. Sabotage and little accidents begin happening at the
ranch, possibly endangering lives. While Summer believes it
is Hoss responsible, Travis, unaware of Summer's true
intent, searches for the person he believes is after him.
Will the truth come out before it damages the relationship
that is blooming between them?
Linda Conrad has achieved the excitement and suspense again
with another story in the series of the Chance family.
Travis, the brother who takes responsibility for keeping the
ranch running, is a soft hearted soul dedicated to helping
others. This action packed tale is woven with emotion and
heartbreak. I am anticipating more exciting creations from
this author and will be the first in line to read them. I
fervently hope she keeps this thrilling series going!
