About this ebook

 Her determination fuels his desire

When her dying friend pleads for help to finish a renovation project, Ava Howell can’t refuse, even though her promise means leaving her new career and familiar life in New York to travel to a remote ranch in Texas. She’s good at what she does, and the ghost town vacation resort would look great on her resume, but it means tangling with the ex-military cowboy who is determined to stop her as soon as she arrives.

Beau Paxton needs to sell the land and ghost town to save his family’s struggling ranch. He’s a formidable enemy to Ava’s determination, but the harder she works, the more his attraction for her grows. He doesn’t want to set aside his plans so she can succeed at hers, yet he finds himself doing just that...

Will a promise bring a city girl and a sexy cowboy together? Or will a broken one drive them apart?

Ratings and reviews

This is an enjoyable quick read that kicks off the Blackstone Ranch series from this author. Ava Howell arrives at Blackstone Ranch straight from New York City. She's disheartened yet determined . Ava is in Texas to fulfill a deathbed promise to a friend and she won't let anything get in her way. It doesn't take long before the magic of the ranch and the attention of the rancher has her heart mending and hope growing while wanting more. A nice sweet read I would recommend.

A great start to a new series. Ava has arrived in a ghost town of Texas to revitalize it as resort, as a favor to her friend who just died from cancer. Beau needs to sell the land of the ghost town to save his family. Soon heads will butt, but neither can deny the chemistry that they share between them. Soon Ava has to return to New York, will that be the end of their relationship? Great characters, loved their chemistry and the banter that they share. Gunner was a favorite of mine too. This is my first book by this author and looking forward to reading more.

Could you keep a promise you made a dying friend? One that would have you taking leave from your job and moving States away to work on a ghost ranch? When i started reading this book I was thinking just those thoughts in my head. What would it be like to do all those things and more. Author Pam Croors gives us a book that kept me reading from the first page until the end. Ava and Beau have this chemistry between them and then a push and pull between them as well made for a wonderful read for me.
