Jackie Porter/Pepper Prescott is on the run. She witnessed a murder and ran to the only place she felt safe -- an Idaho ranch that belonged to her foster mother. Now she finds that her foster mother has died and left the ranch to her. Dan Graham has been taking care of her ranch while he recuperated from injuries sustained while in Special Forces. Dan and Pepper have a past together; Dan hopes to rekindle it, Pepper hopes to keep him at bay.
This is my first book by this author and frankly, I'm not impressed. I'm not opposed to sensuality but this book went overboard. It became boring, not sensual. Then there's the problem with the heroine. I cannot imagine how she took care of herself all those years with her dithery mental processes. Should she trust Dan or not? On and on and on.
Then the person Pepper saw kill her assistant (in the opening chapters) is the integral linchpin to the dangerous terrorists Dan is trying to entice into his trap on the Idaho ranch (that Pepper now owns). How outlandish is that? This story is beyond far fetched. Another problem was with the language used sometimes; it bounced from corny to overly-dramatic.
Now I've found out that this is the middle story of a series (see below). I don't plan to read any of them.
