"A fabulous addition to Dynasties: The Connellys series!"

I've been following The Connelly's in fits and starts but the ones I've read have been fabulous and this one by Katherine Garbera is no exception! It's a great addition to this wonderful on-going series!

This is the story of Seth Connelly. Seth didn't go to live with his father until he was much older. He was the product of an affair that Grant Connelly had with Angie Donahue but Angie still has ways of wreaking havoc on Seth and his Connelly relatives.

Seth runs away again from yet another of his mother's messes and heads straight for his best friend Matt's ranch. Matt no longer lives there but his sister Lynn is doing her best to keep the ranch running. The problem is a smooth talking guy conned her into mortgaging the ranch and investing in a 'no-lose' deal, then the guy took her money and ran. Now she's broke with no way to pay off the mortgage.

Seth tries to pay off her loan for her but the banker has an ulterior motive for not accepting that. It seems he wants the ranch for himself. Then Seth comes up with an even better idea, or is it? He tells Lynn that they'll get married and that way the banker will have to accept the money. Lynn has had a crush on Seth since she was sixteen years old and doesn't believe that marriage is a good idea at all.

Seth is still trying to come to grips with what he feels is his mother's rejection. He feels as if he's unlovable and can't love anybody, but he's so attracted to Lynn he's willing to give marriage a try. Will this work out for them both in the end, and are they willing to play it out till the end?

Seth is a hero to die for. Lynn wants to be independent but she is barely holding her head above water and doesn't want to have to go to her brother Matt to be bailed out yet again. Seth and Lynn are made for each other if they will only accept and believe. This is a fabulous addition to the Dynasties: The Connellys series. Katherine Garbera gave Seth and Lynn a great story and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I look forward to more Connelly stories!

Lynn McCoy would do anything to keep the ranch that had been in her family for generations--even marry wealthy Seth Connelly. And when she fell in love with him, Lynn needed to convince her handsome husband they could have their own happily-ever-after.

Summary

A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE?

Wealthy Chicago attorney Seth Connelly told himself he'd married Lynn McCoy only to save her family ranch. The Sagebrush Montana, spread had once been his salvation, though Lynn had been his nemesis. But the troublemaking brat had turned into a fresh-faced beauty...

Though only days from foreclosure, Lynn was no Cinderella waiting to be rescued. Just as well, since silver-eyed Seth was no Prince Charming. She fantasized about the only kiss they'd ever shared, fourteen years ago, and yearned to be held again in his rock-hard arms. To be made his wife, in every sense of the word. Seth wanted marriage, too--but without love. Or so his loner heart said...
