The Quiet Storm

The handsome stranger Randee Ellis hires might shield her from the dark plot against her Montana ranch, but can he protect her heart from his past? A Rising Wind Ripped from the rugged yet majestic Madison Valley, the Triple Creek ranch is a tribute to both the Ellis family's dreams and the beauty of the land. It is everything to thirty-year-old Randee, even more important than children of her own. But while she and her uncle have managed the work since her parents' death, this year it will be harder. Almost all the nearby ranches have been compromised, and a sinister plot is on the rise. She hires the stranger against her better judgment. There's no question he's the handsomest would-be cowhand that ever lived, but Chase Gregory is a city slicker-and she's been fooled before. No matter how much he makes her long for things she thought forever abandoned, until Chase admits who and what he is, and what he's running from, there's no way she can trust him...let alone love him, as her soul demands. A mixture of danger, despair and desire lurks behind those blue eyes and that winning smile, and Randee has yet to learn which way the storm will break.
