A Heart Divided [Paperback]

Megan Chance (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 2, 1996

Sarilyn Travers trembled when she spotted the lone rider crossing the high Colorado plains. Conor Roarke was back. It had been only a year since he'd loved her and used her to betray her husband and brother. Now, as a woman alone, she could take no chances with a man who could make her forget family ties, consequences, and the truth that lay just behind his sweet words and tender smile. Conor would not give up his search for Sari's brother. Michael Doyle had killed the one person Conor had ever depended on -- his father. Now the trail led him back to Sari's ranch, to the woman he had loved and left a year before. He planned to charm her with false kisses and easy lies, avenge his father's murder, then walk away again. But he never counted on her fury - or his passion. Conor Roarke had one emotion burning in him as real as his hatred for Sari's brother: his desire for her.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"Conor Roarke, one of the top Pinkerton agents, was living among cows. Ugly, stupid cows. God, he hated farming." The charming Conor is wintering with Sarilyn Travers and her Dutch uncle, Charles, on the Colorado prairie while he waits for her brother Michael, an executioner for the Molly Maguires who murdered his adoptive father. Three years before, Conor had infiltrated the Mollys and helped send 19 men to the gallows, including Sari's husband, Evans. He also had an affair with Sari and then left town; that was his job. Can Conor charm Sari again, and can Sari ever get him out of her blood? No surprises here, but Chance (The Portrait) has done a lot of research on life in a prairie soddy (sod house), and her romance has a cold and windy authenticity.

A Heart Divided is an exceptionally passionate read that decries interruption until the last page is read! -- Midwest Book Review
