The New York Times bestselling queen of romantic suspense returns with
a heart-racing tale in which a former soldier turned rancher and a
beautiful designer race to stop a vicious killer--a battle for survival
that threatens to explode in an intense and irresistible passion.
An art dealer and owner of her own design studio, Perfect Touch, Sara
Medina travels the world to find the ideal artwork for her clients. Her
sophisticated, comfortable life in San Francisco is light years away
from the poverty of her family's dairy farm, and Sara will do whatever
it takes to keep her business strong. A dedicated urban career woman
focused on her work, she doesn't have time or energy for a family or
distracting romantic entanglements.
Jay Vermillion recently inherited Vermillion Sky, a working ranch near
Wyoming's breathtaking Grand Teton Mountains--and the estates of the
rich and restless. While he was fighting in two wars, his father tried
to keep the homestead running, until illness stole his fight and then
his life. Jay's determined to restore Vermillion Sky, but first he's got
to settle a vicious battle with his former stepmother over some of his
late father's paintings. The last thing on his mind is a finding a wife
and creating a seventh generation of Vermillions.
When Jay hires Sara to handle his father's artwork, it's love at first
sight--a mutually inconvenient attraction that is soon complicated by a
double murder at the edge of the ranch and a potential betrayal even
closer to home. Working together to unmask a murderer, Sara and Jay try
to fight the intense heat between them. Then the killer targets Sara.
And suddenly, Jay, the war-weary soldier, finds something he's once
again willing to die for . . .
