Tired of rejection, she’s ready to swear off men. Sheridan O’Neil’s quiet confidence has served her well, except when it comes to romance. Until he meets a woman who shakes the foundations of his well-built walls… Forced to tackle old demons at the ranch, James throws himself into work to avoid his true feelings. But after their father dies, bequeathing them the Triple C, a cattle ranch that sustains their small town, they return-and confront the painful memories of their childhood home and the truth about their sister’s murder…įor years, James Cavanaugh has traveled the world as a horse whisperer, but even the millions he’s earned hasn’t healed the pain he hides behind his stoic exterior. The Cavanaugh brothers left behind River Black, Texas, long ago. Now Deacon is faced with the choice of a lifetime: Take down the Triple C to feed his need for revenge, or embrace the love of the one person who has broken down every barrier to his heart. But as the two battle for control, their attraction builds. Mac knows Deacon means to destroy the ranch and therefore destroy her livelihood. He never expected the ranch’s forewoman, Mackenzie Byrd, to get in his way. The eldest son, Deacon, a wealthy businessman who couldn’t wait to leave the ranch and move on with his life, is looking to use his powerful connections to stop Blue at any cost.

When the Cavanaugh brothers return home for their father’s funeral, they discover unexpected evidence of the old man’s surprising double life-a son named Blue, who wants the Triple C Ranch as much as they do. But it also holds painful memories and shocking secrets for the Cavanaugh brothers… In the small town of River Black, Texas, sits the Triple C-a working cattle ranch that sustains the town.

To celebrate my good fortune, I found a two-for on my bookshelf - the first two books in the Cavanaugh Brothers series. I have been prepping my life for a repeat of last time where many things were off limits for several weeks including using a computer and reading!! But after several follow up appointments my eye surgeon has declared that if it hasn’t happened yet, chances are low that it will happen anytime soon (but no guaranties). A few years ago I had to have surgery for a detached retina and I thought it was happening again in my other eye. I am having my own little celebration today.
