| Emerald is on the run from an unknown stalker. Her journey takes her to Jackson’s ranch where she's hired to be his housekeeper. Their attraction is immediate, and Jackson soon learns why Emerald is running. He vows to protect her and Emerald does feel safe with Jackson. She worries about bringing danger to Jackson and his family and wonders if she should run again. It isn’t long before they act on their attraction to each other and the stalker soon finds Emerald. His possessiveness brings disaster to Jackson’s ranch, and Emerald knows their time together is limited. After all, she's from the city, and the ranch is Jackson’s whole life.
This author really knows how to craft a story. From the very beginning, my interest was captured and it never wavered throughout the entire book. Emerald and Jackson were both dominant personalities with their own quirks and imperfections that made the reader really like them and want them to be happy. The mystery of who was stalking Emerald was important to the story but it didn’t take away from the romance between her and Jackson. The reader will enjoy their journey as they get to know eacher. The author lets the sexual tension build slowly so you know the feelings are there for both of them, and the first time they make love is very explosive. I have enjoyed every story in this series and eagerly look forward to the author telling more about these families.
