Anne and fellow Silhouette author, Lucy
Gordon, have joined forces to write a book with two love stories
and two dynamite heroes!
When Montana cowboy, Gabe McBride, and his cousin, Lord Randall
Stanton, meet up at their grandfather, Lord Stanton's, 80th birthday
party, it's just like old times. Blood brothers, sworn in childhood
to get each other out of trouble, Gabe and Randall prove that, as
adults, they can get into trouble, too. Before they know it, a bet
with the earl has Gabe riding off to darkest Devon to prove himself
and Randall heading out to Montana for a little enforced R&R.
In Anne's story, Gabe meets Frederica Crossman. Widowed Freddie
and her two children have an astonishing affect on footloose Gabe.
Whereas before "spouse" and "marry" have seemed
like terrifying words, now they hold a definite appeal. But Freddie
isn't convinced. As far as she's concerned Gabe is just like her
husband -- not to be counted on. Suddenly Gabe doesn't only have
to prove himself to the earl, but to Freddie -- and to himself.
Randall, in Lucy's story, has been proving himself all his life.
The heir to the earldom, he's dutiful beyond reproach. And competent.
There's never been a challenge Randall hasn't met. Until he meets
Claire. The tomboy orphan who grew up on Gabe's family's ranch, Claire
has always loved Gabe. And she's not at all interested in any "reasonable
facsimiles thereof," especially not ones who talk funny and
don't know the first thing about life on a Montana ranch. When Randall
finds himself attracted to Claire, his R&R becomes more of a
challenge than he ever imagined. He has his work cut out for him
as he woos this woman of the west!
