She's searching for her mother. He lost his only son. Neither thought they'd find love ... but secrets could destroy it all.
Brooke Daniels lost her adoptive parents when she was young and spent several years in foster care. All she’s ever wanted was to love and be loved. To belong somewhere. She’s been trying to find her birth mother for the past decade and finally uncovers a promising lead.
Following the clues, Brooke finds Lisa Scoffield working on Ryder Ranch in Wild Rose, Iowa. When she’s standing face-to-face with the woman who brought her into the world, she’s mistaken for the new cook. Jumping at the chance to get to know Lisa better, she keeps her identity secret for the time being.
Dylan Ryder is the sexy ranch owner, though Brooke’s lust seems one-sided. She pushes her feelings aside, telling herself she’s here to spend time with her biological mother, not pursue an affair with a brooding loner. It isn’t long before she discovers Dylan is just as attracted to her and they spend night after night wrapped in wild passion.
As the weeks pass, Brooke’s never been happier and believes a life she’s always dreamed of is right at her fingertips, but damning secrets stand in the way. Lisa still has no idea Brooke is her daughter. What will she do when she finds out? Dylan prefers keeping his past dead and buried. When it all comes out will it ruin any hope of a future together? And what will Dylan say when Brooke reveals her biggest secret of all?
