Carly Baron is home from Houston to Roughneck, the Baron
family ranch in
Texas, to help care for her father after an injury. She
strives to avoid her
father forcing her to join ranks at Baron Energies, their
oil company.
Nursemaid is all she intends to do, and only temporarily.
But while she's
there, why not try a little bull riding? Barrel Racing has
become boring.
Carly is obsessed with finding the mother who walked away
from she and
her siblings when she was 5 years old. For now she will be
dealing with the
busy ranch and a cantankerous old man. She is also praying
to eventually find
where she truly belongs. The one person she didn't expect
to find on the
farm was none other than Luke Nobel, the object of her big
secret. Luke,
previously a rodeo star, has quit the circuit and is raising
his adorable 2-year-
old daughter after the death of his wife. His first real
love was Carly, but
misunderstandings of years ago caused him to walk away. Now
Carly is
getting those toe tinkling feelings again around him and
reluctant to start
something she will be sorry for. The sparks fly again but
Carly stands to lose
it all to becoming a real family when she finally tells him
her secret of seven years
ago.
This installment in the Texas Rodeo Barons Sagas has two
young people
searching for a second chance at love after previously
walking away. Barbara White Daille always delivers an
exciting and fulfilling story to cuddle up with. Her
feisty and independent female characters are always colorful
and amusing and
full of spitfire and hell.
Book 3 of the Texas Rodeo Barons Hiding The Truth Coming home might be the worst decision Carly Baron has ever made. Each minute on her family's busy ranch is one minute closer to seeing him—her first love—the man who broke her heart seven years ago. While coming face-to-face with Luke Nobel again brings back painful memories, Carly quickly realizes there are other strong feelings just under the surface. Luke would be a lot better off if Carly had stayed away. Being a single dad to an adorable two-year-old girl and managing the Roughneck is tough enough, but resisting the sparks that fly whenever he and Carly are together is near impossible. But first she must tell him her secret. The truth could heal their past-or forever destroy their chances of becoming a family.
