Blurb

He'll risk his whole heart to save her from the past 

Gaby Cane was always a bit afraid of her attraction to Bowie McCayde. Even when she was fifteen and Bowie's family took her in, she had sensed his simmering resentment. Now ten years later, she's an aspiring journalist who can hold her own with any man professionally, the dark shadows of years gone by far behind her. Then Bowie strides back into her life—only this time, he needs her, and the pull of loyalty to his family is too strong to ignore.  

When Bowie asked Gaby to help save his family's Arizona ranch, he never expected the girl he once knew to return transformed into a stunning, successful woman. As they work together, Bowie is shocked to find that her innocence and beauty stir a hunger he can't deny. But the rogue rancher can sense something holding her back, and he's determined to uncover the terrible secret Gaby is fighting to keep hidden…

Review in Portuguese and English:

Heroína é acolhida pela família do herói e tratada como filha. O herói se ressente da presença dela e acaba se afastando da família.

A mãe do herói agora viúva se envolve com um pretendente que causa suspeitas no filho dela.

Herói elabora um plano junto com heroína para impedir que a mãe dele seja enganada pelo novo namorado.

Nossa heroína tem um passado trágico e traumático que vai ressurgir ao longo da história. Eu achei ela muito interessante porque ela é jornalista e destemida no trabalho dela.

Gostei muito do herói pois ele não é um dos ogros da autora.

A química entre os dois é explosiva e a história muito interessante.

A história prende a atenção porque queremos saber sobre o passado da heroína e qual a verdadeira identidade do namorado da mãe do herói e se nossa heroína vai enfrentar o medo dela de intimidade e dar uma chance ao amor do herói. 

Todo mistério mantém o leitor interessado.

Sempre vale a pena ler os livros da autora. 

Recomendo!

--------------------------------------

Heroin is welcomed by the family of the hero and treated as a daughter. The hero resents her presence and just moving away from family.

The mother of the hero now widow becomes involved with a suitor who cause suspicion on her son.

Hero devises a plan along with heroin to prevent his mother be fooled by new boyfriend.

Our heroine has a tragic past and traumatic that will resurface throughout history. I found our heroine very interesting because she is a journalist and fearless in her work.

I really enjoyed the hero because he is not one of the ogres of the author.

The chemistry between the two is explosive and very interesting story.

The story holds your attention because we want to know about the past of heroin and the real identity of the hero's mother's boyfriend, and if our heroine will face her fear of intimacy and give a chance to the love of the hero. 

All mystery keeps the reader interested.

Always worth reading the books of the author.
