"Beautifully written, exceptional characters, and a charming storyline." Kim - Goodreads Katherine Whitfield hadn't left her seamless life in California to get mixed up with a rough-around-the-edges man like Zach Tyler. With his well-worn jeans and slow, seductive smile, he was nothing but a cowboy on the wrong side of the Mississippi, a distraction in her quest to discover the father she never knew. Zach has a gentle hand with horses and a seductive touch with women. When he takes Katherine in his arms, he unleashes the passion simmering just below her cool exterior. Yes, her probing questions and tantalizing ways could cause nothing but trouble. But sometimes a man needs a little trouble... Don't miss this emotional and compelling contemporary romance set in the lush horse country of Kentucky, filled with small-town charm, romance, love, and family drama from #1 NYT bestselling author Barbara Freethy. What the readers are "This book kept me up last night ! Katherine wants to find her father, so she heads to Kentucky to follow some clues. An accident sets off a chain of events. Zach, coincidences, the Derby, and SO MANY secrets lead Katherine to the truth – and what a twist! Barbara Freethy has done it again." Cindy – Goodreads "Barbara Freethy weaves the reader under her spell in a most unlikely set of mysteries once again. And what a delicious spell it was!" Caryn – Goodreads "A wonderful story by Barbara Freethy. Barbara writes stories about characters and situations that capture your interest from beginning til the end.
