Synopsis

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.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Sarilyn Travers is running...from a bad marriage, from her fanatical brother, and from loving Conor Roarke, her brother Michael's sworn enemy. She has sought refuge with her uncle on the Colorado plains and hopes to put her past behind her. When Conor arrives at her home, determined to kill Michael for the murder of Conor's father, he tells Sarilyn he's there to protect her from her own brother who he knows intends to do her harm. Sari can see she needs to keep her whereabouts from her brother, but she resists Conor. Soon, they grow close and rekindle their relationship. When Michael finds Sarilyn, he insists he needs her help, and Sarilyn agrees to hide Michael from Conor. When Conor finds them together, Sarilyn is forced into choosing between the man she loves and protecting her brother from Hannibal's Law. The climactic confrontation between the men and its aftermath test Conor and Sarilyn's fragile relationship--and forces them to question love and family.

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.
