Tempting Fate — Rhonda Laurel

The Blake Boys Book Nine

Love can heal the most stubborn heart...

Attorney Channing Blake is looking forward to a new chapter in his life. He's graduated law school in Washington, DC and has returned home to the Twelve Horseshoes Ranch to take a job with Blake Enterprises. But he's not the only one who's back in town. Emma Winterbourne, his on-again, off-again girlfriend, has failed to make it in the Big Apple and is back in Texas, looking to pick up where she left off with good old Channing. Although the chemistry between them has always burned hot, Channing isn't sure he wants to be her whipping boy any longer.

But when he heads back to DC to attend a friend's engagement party, he becomes sure of it. A chance meeting with the beautiful Cassidy Shaw dredges up all the old feelings he'd felt for her in law school. He'd dated her once or twice, but she'd mysteriously disappeared without a word. His attempts to find her had come up empty. He'd had no choice but to move on. Now, with Cassidy right there, looking at him with that same longing he was feeling, he knew he owed it to himself to follow his heart. But when Cassidy disappears again and won't take his calls, he knows something isn't right. Cassidy is keeping something from him, and he's not above using Blake resources to find out what.
