Price Above Rubies — Mary Lynn Baxter

PRODIGAL SON ...

McKenzie Moore was seventeen when she realized she loved Jeb Langley--not as a stepbrother, but as a man. And what they shared was hot, torrid--complete. Until Carson Langley forced her to choose between him and his rebel son, but her indecision sent Jeb storming from her life.

Now, eight years later, he'd returned to make peace with his father. But soon he'd be off again to parts unknown. It didn't matter. McKenzie had her stepfather. She had her job at the newspaper. She had enough.

But Jeb Langley didn't. He'd returned with a mission. A mission he was determined to complete.
