Two lawyers; as unlikely a union as two Scorpios…the secret that could ruin their lives…and the miracle that saves them. Rachel Thomas is a coveted El Paso lawyer. Her prowess in the courtroom is enough to shun any criminal into retirement. But her partnership in the legal firm is sullied by the big cheese, who burdens his staff with large case loads while he basks on his yacht for sport. The ranch she grew up on seems a distant memory most weeks, while she prepares briefings and depositions for her clients, and her family slops horse manure and raises beasts, all while missing their beloved sister and daughter. Until Chad Hedger walks into the firm one day, dulling her focus and warming her bed, quicker than she could win a case. Chad Hedger lives a life most men would only dream of, with one exception. He’s a successful attorney, single, painfully handsome, and has enough charm to win over any female. Trouble is, no female has ever caught his eye. And his family life is displaced so much that any woman would run the other way. When Chad is disowned by his father, he’s forced to move from his beloved hometown in Dallas, to El Paso, and has been sworn to never look back. And when he begins working for the same law firm as Rachel Thomas, he begins missing Dallas more than ever. Rachel is the only salvation Chad has, but is that enough? When tragedy strikes back home in Dallas, Chad has to make a quick decision, and move back to his hometown, leaving behind a girl who has shown him more love than anyone else has his entire life. He has to choose between two things that matter more to him than anything, but he doesn’t realize that there is a third thing. And neither does Rachel, until Chad’s bags are packed. Is it too late?
