Canyon Westmoreland is a lawyer, and he can't get over his
split with a lady named Keisha Ashford, another lawyer,
three years ago. She left Denver and wouldn't speak to him,
believing that he'd cheated on her with her friend. Now
Keisha's back in town but as offhand as before and CANYON
decides to explain his point of view once and for all, then
leave her alone. However he spots a car following Keisha's
car, and when he reports the licence plate to police, the
vehicle has been stolen. Concerned, Canyon follows Keisha
too - and sees her picking up a little boy from daycare. A
boy who looks so like his nephews that he must be family....
Keisha was herself raised by a single mother, and she's
independent enough to have raised Canyon's little boy in
Texas. She knew returning to Denver might cause a scene
and reluctantly introduces Canyon to Beau, the son he never
knew existed. But she's not prepared to hear that she is
being followed, while her house is ransacked. All
protective male, Canyon insists the little family come stay
at the Westmoreland ranch, where they will be safe until
the police get to the bottom of the situation. And maybe
Keisha would just hear his version of the scene with her
friend?
Brenda Jackson has written several books in her long-
running saga of the Westmoreland family, so a large number
of previous characters enter the tale at this point, mostly
happily settled as couples. They instinctively accept
little Beau as one of their own and are polite enough not
to ask Keisha exactly what is going on between her and
Canyon. Followers of the earlier books will be glad to
keep up with the family tree - this does make it a little
harder to read the novel as a standalone. However the two
main characters decide to move forward and make their
priority finding out who is behind the threats to Keisha,
and why. New readers can focus on this aspect of the
story and slide over the many names and relations from the
rest of the series. I liked this book more than the
previous instalment Zane and the next will be
called Stern after another brother.
From New York Times bestselling author Brenda Jackson comes
a new trilogy starring three Westmorelands...
Years ago, Canyon Westmoreland let misunderstandings come
between him and Keisha Ashford. But when Keisha returns to
town with a two-year-old son, it's time to settle things
once and for all. A blazing attraction still burns between
them, and this time around, nothing will stop Canyon from
claiming what is his-his woman and his child!
