On his tongue it sounded even darker and more dire than in my own mind. “Becky...take off your clothes.”  I could feel my breath shuddering as I unbuttoned my blouse and peeled off my skirt.  “Everything,” he ordered, his voice like stone. “Then get back on your knees.”  I did as I was told, my skin prickling with goose bumps despite the heat. I could feel their eyes on me.  Carl slid a hand over my cheek, his touch somehow rough and tender at the same time.  “I’ll go easy on you,” he said at last. “Hell, most men wouldn’t have let you leave ‘em once before they’d claimed you properly.” His gaze connected with Jamie behind me, as if rebuking him.  “I thought I wouldn’t be like them, not with you. But it seems that a man’s got to make a claim to what belongs to him,” he said, slowly. “And a woman in your position has got to learn to take it.”

From the outside, Laney MacFarland’s life seems close to perfect. She’s a well-respected horse trainer. She might be from a small town in Montana, but she’s made a big name for herself. She might live and work in a male-dominated industry but coming from a family with six brothers and a sadistic father, she learned early in life how to hold her own with men. She’s achieved everything she set out to, professionally. But when it comes to her personal life, she’s not achieved much of anything at all. She left home when she was eighteen, not to get away from all the men in her family, but to get away from the one man she couldn’t have – well, never except that one time. Her sister wanted her gone, too, so that just made it easier for her to leave. Her life has started to feel more and more empty lately. She’s ready to make a change, to go out and conquer new mountains. The trouble is, the only mountains she really wants to conquer are the ones back home in Paradise Valley, Montana. Her sister is married now, and they’ve made their peace. Her brothers have grown into men she likes and respects – and wouldn’t mind working with again. But that one man she could never have? He’s still there in the valley, and as hard as she’s tried to forget him, she’s never been able to. Luke Wallis did his best to stay away from Laney when she was a kid – she was his best friend’s kid sister, what else was he supposed to do? He spent so much time with the MacFarland boys growing up that he might as well have been one of them. He fell in love with Laney when she was still in high school.

While trying not to relive old mistakes and her past grief, she holds on tightly to her secrets. Rancher Carter McLeod knows highly rated chefs don’t take positions like preparing meals for a bunch of cowboys without a good reason. A reason he doesn’t know. His challenge is to keep from falling for the cute blond while he waits for the day she returns to a life where she hobnobbed with celebrities instead of dirt-covered ranch hands. Kit has no intention of jumping into a relationship with any man, much less her new boss, but she couldn’t have cooked up anything more enticing than Carter. As feared, this cowboy romance comes to a scorching end when her hidden past comes striding back into her life. And now Carter may never trust her again.
