Sweet Wind, Wild Wind

Lara Chandler loves the Chandler family homestead, but the 100 year lease has reverted to the Blackridge family - she's home to write the history of the Rocking B, the ranch which surrounds the Chandler spread, pack up a few memories, and return to her academic career. And if she can do that while avoiding Carson Blackridge, the Rocking B's owner and onetime crush, she'll be quite happy.

For Carson Blackridge, the past holds only bitter memories and the seeds of crushing failure. He wants Lara - but to keep her he'll have to undo years of damage.

As family secrets unravel and history comes back to haunt them, will new love survive?

Predictable, and Carson really isn't all that likeable to begin with.

Lara Chandler has come home to the Rocking B Ranch - but not for the man she loved and now hates. The man who used seduction as a weapon. Four long years have made her older, wiser and stronger.

Carson Blackridge is waiting, though, determined to win Lara back for all the right reasons. And for one wrong one.

But even as Lara begins to trust the love she has denied for so long, she is faced with the growing fear that history is repeating itself. And that she'll make the same mistakes.

This is another all time favorite. Hero rejects heroine when she is young and she never gets over it. She goes back to her hometown and hero wants her again. This is one of those books that I have in paperback and have bought more than once when my copy disappears. Loved it!
