Synopsis:

Can a long-ago love be rekindled?
When a flashflood carries Megan Landers to Evan Holloway's remote cowboy hideaway, they have one chance to find out.

Meg Landers had crossed Evan Holloway's mind a time or two, but never had he expected a flashflood in the middle of nowhere to land her right back at his boots. She'd left him behind in the dust once and probably would again if she could find her way out of the treacherous wilderness without him. One look into her familiar green eyes, and darn if he wasn't going to turn staying "stranded" into an art form.

When Megan left her family's ranch, she'd also left the memory of a certain skirt-chasing rodeo golden boy far behind. Her plan was an impromptu family visit before her career carried her across the globe. Instead she finds herself at Evan's hideaway in the bottom of Abduction Canyon. Trouble was, it would take more than the heated connection between them to convince her he wasn't the scoundrel she remembered. And that maybe, just maybe, he never had been.

 


 

Excerpt:

“Cattle Baron, you always know all the right things to say,” she said gently.

       “I do try.”

       She ran her fingers along his lower lip. “I’m fine, though. You don’t need to worry about me. I guess watching that tape got to me more than I’d realized. I miss those things. What they say is true. Money can’t buy happiness. Or is it money can’t buy love? I forget how the saying goes.”

       “It’s both. But did you ever notice those words are always spoken by people who actually have money? I can see where it could buy quite a bit of happiness.”

       “It really doesn’t. It doesn’t buy everything,” she said. Her eyes were lively again, the hint of a sniffle completely gone from her voice. “There’s another saying. It’s lonely at the top.”

       He took both her hands in his. “Look at it this way. The view is better. Success is a good thing, Meg. You should be proud of yours.”

       “I guess that all depends on your definition of success,” she said with a cheerless cadence in her voice.

       “What’s your definition?” Evan asked.

       “Easy,” she said. “Just get to the end of the day and ask yourself this: Am I loved enough? That’s the surest measure of success I know.”
