Book Description

Series: Silhouette Desire | Publication Date: August 11, 2009

Texas Cattleman's Club member Darius Foster is tired of women chasing after his millions. But his jaded heart is about to get a jump-start.

The wealthy rancher never expected to see Summer Martindale in his part of Texas. Darius was still trying to forget that incredible night they'd spent together...a night that never should have happened. Certain she had relocated just to get close to him--and his money--the ex-lawman vowed to keep his distance. But when danger came calling, Darius knew he was the only one who could protect Summer. And that meant getting closer to her...in every way!

Summer Martindale is working as a social worker at a women's shelter in her hometown and runs into a man from her past Darrius Franklin who not only saved her from a abusive former financee but the one man she fell in love with completely. The problem was she believed that he only bedded her on a bet or so she was told by his former partner when he worked in law enforcement. She left town and went to college and came back to her hometown to help women that are going through what she went through in her past. He lives there now and has become a wealthy rancher and has become a member of the Texas Cattlemen Club who also raised the funds for the shelter. He had left town when his brother was in a bad accident to tend to his brother and when he came back was told by his former partner who had a low opinion of women that Summer has left town with a wealthy older man because she was a gold digger. Darrius is still attracted to her but fights the feelings because he thinks she is a gold digger. When her ex gets out of jail and threatens her life again, he steps in to protect her like he did 7 years ago. You will have to read the book to find out how this ends and it will be well worth the read. Another great book by Brenda Jackson.

This was a good story however, I felt it was incomplete! Darius was investigating a fire and we never found out what really happened and he found a discrepancy in the TCC accounts which I thought it meant someone was embezzling funds through the shelter which was also never addressed. There should be a follow up to this story.

Darius never expected to see Summer Martindale again -- especially after that one night several years ago -- a night that he has tried to forget but cannot. Because of lies by someone thought to be a friend and mistrust on both Darius' and Summer's part, they missed out on time that should have been spent together. However, the old cliche that states "Misery loves company" worked in this case to keep them apart. That is until Summer came to town where Darius is now living and what they both thought was long buried and forgotten, rose up again.

Brenda Jackson fans, this is yet another great book by Ms. Jackson. One of the Silhouette Desire's series and part of the Texas Cattleman's Club. This was the second book in the "Maverick County Series." I love how Ms. Jackson along with the first author of the book and the others in the six book series tie the storyline and keep it flowing. Not only are the stories about love and romance, but also mystery and intrigue. The authors have a way of writing their part of the story that makes the readers want to know what happens in the end and cannot wait to read the other books.

Although this was not about a Westmoreland or Madarius man, those men we have grown to know and love, it was about a fine man -- Darius Foster -- who can definitely hold his own.

Keep up the good work, Ms. Jackson and I am looking forward to "Spontaneous" coming soon in the Harlequin Blaze issue.
