It’s love at first sight for a sexy cowboy when a guarded newcomer arrives in this Valentine’s Day romance from a USA Today–bestselling author.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, playboy rancher Jude Fortune Jones is convinced he has met the Woman He Is Going to Marry. (Again, his brothers tease.) But it is no joke to Jude. When petite brunette beauty Gabriella Mendoza arrives in Horseback Hollow, Jude knows he will never be the same.
Keep things light, Gabi tells herself. She is in no position to think about settling down, particularly with the hopeless-romantic cowboy. As a heart-transplant recipient, she has plenty of reasons to avoid getting too intimate with Jude—plenty of reasons to feel less than worthy of his love. How can she trust that the flirtatious Fortune is playing for keeps?
“Kirk’s heartrending romance will bring on tears of frustration and commiseration as her heroine struggles with life-altering decisions while her valiant hero is kept in the dark. Her small Texas town adds to the fervor and gives the tale a country flavor while keeping up with all the Texas Fortune-Joneses.” —RT Book Reviews
