About this ebook

 With his competing days behind him, Wyatt Marshall has settled into ranching life in Marietta, Montana. But with the Copper Mountain Rodeo, his only exception, just around the corner, the last thing he needs is a distraction – especially one in the form of a pretty, yet vaguely familiar country singer.

For Claire Miller, it's been almost a year since she fled Las Vegas with only her purse and the clothes on her back, and she's been laying low in Montana with a new image. When she and her country band travel to perform in the small town of Marietta, she doesn't plan on getting stranded there for several days. Or for an innocent offer to stay at a nearby ranch to turn out to be more than she bargained for: she recognizes its owner to be the same sexy cowboy she got hot and heavy with – then stood up – in Vegas.

With the passion flaring between them and Wyatt getting closer to putting the pieces together, Claire is ready to run again, not knowing the danger that sent her fleeing in the first place is close on her heels.

Ratings and reviews

The rodeo has returned to Marietta, who doesn't love the cowboys!! Wyatt first met Claire in Vegas, a sizzling chemistry then but Claire disappeared that same night. Fast forward, Claire is on the run and has shown up in Marietta with no place to stay. Wyatt's sister offers her a cabin on the ranch, not knowing the Wyatt knows Claire. The sparks are still there and Claire soon needs her cowboy to protect her from her past. A fast paced story, loved Wyatt, pure cowboy and gentleman. I can't wait to hear more from this family. Highly recommend.

This was a great story. Claire and Wyatt were great main characters. I loved their chemistry and connection. Claire was determined to hide her past, including the brief encounter she had with Wyatt back in Vegas. But the truth always manages to come out. I really loved Wyatt and how he handled finding out the truth about Claire. And especially how he and his family handled things at the end. And I loved all of the secondary characters like Katie. I'm really enjoying this year's rodeo series.

Ahhh.... I am not sure if it is being back in Marietta that won me over or the story line or Wyatt and Claire. Heck, it was probably all of those things and much more. You know the saying "What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas." that does not apply in this story and I am so glad! A beautifully written story about a singer and a cowboy. I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
