Craving

Jade Roberts was left at the altar, and the humiliation is still raw. She retreats to the ranch of her best friend on the Colorado western slope, expecting nothing from the visit except a place to recover.

Then her friend's brother, Talon Steel, kisses her. He is a reserved cowboy, and she did not expect to be drawn to him. Talon has never healed from a terrible childhood trauma. He lives day to day, taking what women offer and giving nothing back, until Jade enters his life.

She is sweet, generous and beautiful, and his wanting grows into a craving he fears he can never satisfy. The two fall into a physical, intense affair.

This is a contemporary romance set in a ranch country backdrop, with a wounded hero and a heroine nursing a fresh hurt. Secrets buried deep in both their pasts threaten to surface and may pull them apart. Expect an emotionally charged read where desire drives the plot and the damage each carries is never far away.
