About this ebook

Bamboozled Into Going Home Again… 

When veterinarian Sunny Carmichael left her rural Texas home nearly a decade ago, she vowed never to return to it . . . or to the man who broke her heart. But when a string of mysterious cattle deaths threatens the very fabric of the town she once called home, her meddling, matchmaking mother convinces her she has no choice but to come to Hope Valley's rescue. Will her own heart survive?

He has no idea he’s been set up…

Cowboy rancher, Jackson Slade never forgot the girl who got away. But he had to put the painful past behind him and move on with his life. Now a widowed, single-father, he is raising his quiet little girl alone on his ranch that is suddenly losing cattle. With his livelihood and life in possible jeopardy, the last person he expects to find nosing around his herd is the very same woman he's tried to forget—Sunny Carmichael.

Now what? A second chance at love...?

Although this Texas Sweetheart is not home to stay, it isn’t long before the passionate spark that fired their youthful romance quickly blazes into a scorching flame. Now Sunny and Jack have two problems on their hands: a deadly cattle epidemic and their undeniable attraction!

Ratings and reviews

Words are cheap. It is your actions and your attitude that shows how you value and treasure the person you're supposed to love. But he failed in the face of temptation and it was his stubborn pride that ended them. And in choosing that pride in a way, he was a cheating bastard that cheapened what they had.

A beautiful, brilliant story captures readers by bringing back the emotions of long-lost love and revealing the mystery behind a series of unanticipated events!

A very enjoyable read. Nice character development and story line. Especially the background story helping the love story and sexy bits not to be the only thing that is going on. Just enough sexy bits which is very tastefully done.
