"This western concludes the Hunter family series in great style."

This is a triumphant conclusion to an exceptional series with the four Hunter offspring at its heart. Ms. Rogers gifts us with Matt's story, the youngest, wildest, most dangerous and unpredictable Hunter of them all.

Jack Hunter, patriarch of the family and recently released from prison for the murder of their beloved mother, continually plunges their horse ranch into financial debt. Matt travels to England to purchase Dark Champion, a beautiful thoroughbred race horse. He's hoping to make enough money racing the stallion to save their ranch once again.

Juliana Rains returns to Texas to bring her family's ranch back to prosperity. She's also investigating the mysterious death of her mother, a lifelong friend of the Hunter family. Juliana and Matt are both caught in the tragedies of the past, and it's colored everything they do. But, as their lives become entwined, they find that love cannot be ignored and dreams really do come true.

This is definitely the western you've been waiting for. It puts the bonds of family and the bounds of love to the test. A truly memorable romantic western from a very gifted writer. Don't miss this remarkable series.

Summary

Matt acknowledges a reality lovely widow Juliana Rains refuses to admit: Some drives are too fierce, too powerful, to deny. Like Matt's need to prove himself to his father and brothers. Like his burning desire for revenge against the low-down snake who is trying to destroy his family. Like his love for the genteel widow whose sweet lips and delicious curves make him uncontrollable.
