      The Wilde brothers may be attracted to all things fast and furious. But their spirited sister can’t be tamed when it comes to matters of the heart . . .

      The beautiful vistas and peace and quiet on her family’s Wyoming ranch are a balm for Eden Wilde’s soul—and inspire a gentle touch when it comes to breaking the wild horses she loves. Though there’s no hope on the breathtaking horizon for her love life. Until her sanctuary is invaded by a movie studio shooting their latest blockbuster starring Hollywood’s man of the moment.

      After a personal tragedy plays out in his real life, movie star Blake Benedict finds himself falling for the wide-open spaces and easy going pace of Wyoming—and for Eden. Around her, he feels safe shedding his public persona and letting down his guard. But then accidents begin to happen on set, mishaps that could end Blake’s career—or his life. And Eden will be forced out of her comfort zone to save the Hollywood hero from an enemy he never saw coming . . .

      Dedication

      One would think writing a book is a solitary endeavor, but it takes the talent and support of terrific editors to make our words shine. I want to thank my editors, past and present, who have been such a pleasure to work with.

      To Margo Hoornstra, my critique partner, who never hesitates to tell me what she thinks!

      To Marci Clark, my editor at Kensington Books, who keeps my series on track.

      To the editors I worked with in the past who taught me about POV and showing vs telling and believed in me before I believed in myself: Ally Robertson, Kathy Cottrell, and Stacy Holmes.

      Thank you all!

      “You’re kidding, right?” Eden Wilde dropped her fork on her plate and glanced around the dinner table. Had her parents lost their collective minds?

      “I’m afraid not.” Her father’s determined blue gaze, a mirror image of her own, met hers. “We signed the agreement this afternoon.”

      Her mother reached over to pat her arm. “Think of it as an adventure.”

      More like a nightmare.

      “Grandpa, I can’t believe you agreed to this insanity?”

      Jasper Wilde shrugged then dug into the pile of mashed potatoes on his plate. When he glanced up, his gray eyes twinkled beneath a thatch of snow-white hair. “Your dad says the ranch needs the income, and I think filming a movie here will be quite an experience. Maybe we’ll all get to be extras. Wouldn’t that be a kick?”

      “Fun? Really?” Eden snorted. “From what you’ve told me, this isn’t some little documentary. It’s a major motion picture. Our lives will be in complete chaos for… How long?”

      Her father laid down his steak knife as a frown knit his forehead. “The producer told me they hope to finish in four weeks. A huge chunk of the action is set outdoors, and the majority of those scenes will be shot on the ranch.”

      She gripped the edge of the table. “A month?” The reality was worse than she’d imagined. “And you waited until now to tell me because…”

      Her mom let out a worried sigh. “Nothing was finalized until today since the production company was considering several different ranches here in Wyoming, as well as a couple in Montana. There was no point in upsetting you if the deal for our property СКАЧАТЬ
