What if the “one who got away”…didn’t?

Deidre Nelson has never forgotten the man who stole her heart so effectively a decade ago. When circumstances bring her back to Ventura, Texas to look after her parents’ B&B, she prepares to face Jonas Mendez, the sexy wrangler-turned sheriff, with growing anticipation.

Deidre’s engaging smile and seductive gaze has haunted Jonas for ten years. But life’s cruel ironies pepper his past, leaving him guarded and wary. He vows to keep his interaction with Deidre strictly professional while she’s in Ventura.

But when vandalism at the B&B turns life-threatening, Jonas finds himself intimately involved with the one woman he has always wanted but never touched.

As a decade of built-up anticipation becomes reality, suddenly the line between protector and possessor begins to blur.

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex and graphic language.

  4. 5 Angels and RECOMMENDED READ!
    “...I loved, loved and loved Jonas Mendez!! The book is about two people who were attracted to each other, but did what was right and didn’t betray the confidence that comes between two people who are engaged. The fact that Jonas didn’t betray the trust and then had it betrayed on him makes me love him just a bit more than a normal hero. I loved Deidre because I can see myself in her shoes meeting the one who got away and seeing what would have happened if he didn’t get away the second time around. This book is one of the ones that allow us all to remember the one who got away and do it with a smile on our face, and I would like to thank Patrice Michelle for giving us that precious gift. “
