Patience Sinclaire was working on her Ph.D. by leaving the ivy-covered campus of Boston University for the wide, open spaces of Texas. It was a chance to stop looking over her shoulder at every turn. Traveling incognito with the Circle C Rodeo will help her finish her dissertation on the American West while hiding in plain sight. But she couldn't hide from Dallas Kingman. The champion rider makes it clear that he's watching her and he likes what he sees. But everything about Dallas, from his country drawl to his rugged Texas manners, is unfamiliar to Patience. And if there's anything she understands with clarity, it's what it costs to fall for the wrong man.
As Dallas and Patience make their way through the heart of the southwest, a show more series of unexplained accidents turns the rodeo into a nightmare of fear and suspicion. Someone's obsession has turned deadly, and Patience has moved closer to danger than she ever could imagine in her wildest dreams.
Fabulous story. It kept me on edge, kept me wanting more. One of the best I've read. show less
