For the sake of her family, Tory’s trying to forgive, but she’s finding it much harder to forget when Trask’s presence begins to stir up feelings she’d thought were long gone….
Devil’s Gambit
Tiffany Rhodes’s horse farm was in trouble long before she met Zane Sheridan, a breeder with a shady reputation. Yet she can’t help but feel relieved when Zane offers to buy her out. Though Tiffany doesn’t trust him, she’s drawn to him like a magnet. What does this mysterious man want from her…and can she contain her desire long enough to find out?
