BOOK SYNOPSIS
Utah Davies is a recluse by choice, shunning his family and denying the ranch that needs his care. His personal life is a broken fence-line of past failures, neglected relationships, and The One that got away. After his father’s death, Utah is summoned home and faced with a secret in the form of a dozen or so more siblings he—and the family—had no idea existed. A clause in the will states he must find the family scattered across the country and unite them all for the reading. Trouble is, he has no clue where to begin.
Until he comes face-to-face with the old flame that burned his heart to ash.
In the July of their love, journalist Caroline Wilks refused elopement with Utah. After that, she made a series of bad decisions starting—then ending—with a nightmare marriage to a drunk. But when hunky bad-boy Utah struts back into her life, the only peace from the soul-deep throb she’ll get is between him and a mattress. He refuses to believe she’s nothing more than a hard-nosed journalist known for digging up more dirt than the family coon dog, but she knows better—or does she? And how can Caroline take the time to help Utah find his scattered family when she has a feature story due by the end of the month? Maybe the human interest piece is standing right in front of her in the dark, brooding cowboy.

Review: This story sucked me in very quickly. I enjoyed the relationship that Utah and Caroline had. There was plenty of heat between them but for me it almost seemed too much for the story line. The turmoil and burden that Utah feel from his fathers secrets and mistakes almost takes your breathe away. Can Utah earn forgiveness from his brothers, and a future with Caroline? I loved the soft center of Utah even with all his rugged manliness. Caroline has made some mistakes in the past of her own, and suffered the hurt from them. She has to move past them to have the future she so desperately sees with Utah. Can the Davies' family move on and come together when all their fathers secrets are exposed?
