She's been on a razor's edge for years, showing a biddable,
calm and obedient persona. The man she's loved since she was
14, thinks that is what she is really and hates her. His
past experience with love didn't go so well, and it taints
his relationships with women. Will they see behind the faces
they show the world or will her secret, and his past come
between them?
Amelia Howard and her father have recently moved to El Paso
to be near her Texas Ranger brother. Her father is also
hoping for a match between Amelia and the youngest Culhane
brother. But that won't happen because she's been in love
with the eldest brother Jeremiah aka King since she was
young. Amelia shows the world a person she had to become
because of the recent tragedies and the effect they had on
her father. King hates her which she can live with but what
hurts her most is his relationship with a neighbor's daughter.
King doesn't believe his family when they tell him there is
more to Amelia. His past is also clouding his perception of
all women. As she and his youngest brother become closer,
the relationship drives him wild with jealousy, and King
warns Amelia to stay away from him. His brother sees the
intense attraction between the two and decides to play
matchmaker.
A box of Kleenex should be at hand when you read AMELIA. I
was crying throughout the book. I could feel their
heartbreak and pain so well. Diana Palmer writes a book you
can't put down. Honestly, I read the book and didn't want to
stop to go to bed. Early the next day I was eager to start
reading again. I can never get enough of Diana Palmer's
cowboys and their ladies whether in modern or historical times.
Amelia Howard cherishes her desert country. The dazzling
colors, white heat, and rough sensuality of west Texas stir
her very soul. But there’s a serpent in her paradise: King
Culhane. A towering sunburned cowboy with silver eyes that
miss nothing, he’s a man she’s come to despise—no matter how
much she had worshiped him when she was younger.
As her father pushes her to secure a marriage proposal from
King’s mild-mannered brother in order to marry into the
Culhane dynasty, Amelia assumes the mask of a demure young
lady, always correct and obedient. It’s a posture that King
holds in contempt. Yet when she reveals the true force of
her feelings, she unleashes a smoldering passion that cannot
be denied. And everything—propriety, filial duty, even
love—will be scorched in the wake of such all-consuming desire.
