Chase hasn't seen his beloved stepsister for 20 years, but when he receives a letter from her asking her to care for her daughter Raegan after her imminent death, he drops everything to flee to her bedside. Alas, he arrives on the day of her funeral, and discovers that his "little" niece is a young woman of 18 years, and an extraordinarily attractive one at that. In order to protect her from the rough and randy men in the area, he introduces her as his wife. But who's going to protect her from HIM?

Without a true blood tie between these two, I felt the hero's initial guilt was a bit contrived. Their romance needed a bit more conflict. . . another man, another woman, anything. . . to make their love special. The revelation of their love for each other took place relatively early in the book, causing my interest in the subsequent pages to drop off considerably. Other books by Ms. Hess--although not without other flaws here and there--kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through to the end.

I loved it. I liked the writing and the romance. The plot was great too. It was a tad plain though. True, that the conflicts came in small doses. The emotion, however, was very well present. Norah Hess is definitely going on my list of favorite authors.

This book is great. I have read it over 5 times! I love Norah Hess and think she is the best author ever!
