Series: Elk Heights Ranch #1
Publisher: Kensington Publishing Corp
Hospice nurse Laken Garlington helps people face the end with peace and dignity, surrounded by their loved ones. But the son of her new patient didnât come home to reunite with his dad. So why is Cyler Myer back in horse country? Itâs clear the sexy, six-three hunk with the steely eyes has a score to settle, and Laken doesnât plan on being collateral damage . . . no matter how irresistible she finds the prodigal cowboy.
Dying is too good for the father Cyler will never forgiveânot in this lifetime.
Showing up at his familyâs Washington State ranch is the first step in his plan. But revenge takes a back seat to desire when Cyler meets a bossy beauty who arouses feelings he isnât ready to face. As they work together to save an ailing mare, Cyler realizes he must decide where his true destiny lies. With darkness . . . or with the woman who offers the promise of redemption with every kiss.
She laughed, rolling her green eyes. âWhy am I not surprised?â
âJust being honest.â He shrugged.
âThat is the only point,â he interrupted.
âAre you complaining?â Laken turned, taking a few steps backward on a flatter portion of the hike.
