About this ebook

A sexy SEAL turned Hollywood stuntman returns home to find his buddy’s little sister all grown up

From New York Times bestseller and USAToday bestselling author Jean Brashear, the second book in her much-loved Sweetgrass Springs series:

Hollywood's hot playboy stuntman Randall Mackey replaced the adrenaline rush of his career in the SEAL Teams with another life courting danger, but that existence is jeopardized by injury. The sexy bad boy of Sweetgrass Springs returns to the town where his teenage exploits made him a legend, only to find that his buddy's tomboy little sister has grown up in very interesting ways. If he thinks, however, that gifted horse trainer Rissa Gallagher will simply fall into his arms and help him dodge dealing with a haunting past and a future that looks grim, Mackey might want to think again.

Rissa Gallagher has been abandoned by everyone in her family except the hard-hearted father who is physically present but cold and critical. She is the last hope for the land that has been in her family for six generations, and though Mackey is pure temptation incarnated in one very sexy package, he can never be more than a fling when the only thing he does better than make love is…leave.

"Jean Brashear writes with warmth and emotional truth. The depth of her understanding of human nature marks her as a writer to watch." ~ Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Jean Brashear will knock your socks off!" ~ New York Times bestselling author Stella Cameron

Returning to Sweetgrass Springs, Mackey rediscovers the past that he has never been able to forget. It was the one place he could call home and that gave him stability, despite the trouble he raised whilst living there. Part of his rediscovery is that the little girl that used to follow him and his friends around has grown into a beautiful woman, his match in every way. The only problem is that Rissa doesn't have time for relationships, and certainly not with someone who is here today and gone tomorrow. The attraction between Mackey and Rissa sizzled from the moment they met once again and ignited into an inferno. Despite his past and apparent glamorous lifestyle, Mackey has more substance than Rissa at first thought and as the book progresses, she has increasing difficulty in keeping him at a distance. However, she knows that in spite of her father's taciturn and harsh manner, she is all that he has and without her, their family ranch doesn't have a hope of surviving. When Rissa's life is in danger Mackey comes to the realisation that if he wants to keep her, he is going to have to make some tough decisions. This warm-hearted romance is well written and emotive and touched all the right spots for me. I read this book as part of the “A Cowboy Kind of Night” box set, which I received as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

About the author

New York Times bestseller and USAToday bestselling Texas romance author of the popular TEXAS HEROES series and over 30 other novels in romance and women’s fiction, a five-time RITA finalist and RT BOOKReviews Career Achievement Award winner, Jean Brashear knows a lot about taking crazy chances. A lifelong avid reader, at the age of forty-five with no experience and no training, she decided to see if she could write a book. It was a wild leap that turned her whole life upside down, but she would tell you that though she’s never been more terrified, she’s never felt more exhilarated or more alive. She’s an ardent proponent of not putting off your dreams until that elusive ‘someday’—take that leap now.
