When Dallas O’Grady glimpses a woman dealing with a flat tire, he naturally pulls over to help. Of course, the shapely perfection of her rear end doesn’t hurt, not that he’d admit that aloud. Then he gets a look at her face and realizes she’s one of those Drummonds. The Drummond's and the O’Grady's might both live in the town of Clare, but they’ve never played nice, not since a generations-old feud started over a cache of stolen gold nuggets. Laura Drummond has fought long and hard to grip independence by the throat and avoid her mother’s bulldozing attempts to control her life. She’s always admired Dallas from afar, and she’s pleased to discover that up close, he’s gorgeous, sexy, and nothing like the monster her family has painted. When a landslide blocks the road home, she’s forced to accept his offer of a bed for the night. One thing leads to another and soon burning hot-desire melts into thoughts of forging a permanent relationship—damn their families’ disapproval. But the feud isn’t the only thing conspiring to keep the lovers apart. And the clock is ticking… *-* Warning: This book was previously published as the second story in the two book, Clare Chronicles series, that has since been rolled into the Friendship Chronicles series of which, this is the fifth tale.
