DEA agent Rodrigo Ramirez is sent undercover to Gloryanne Barnes's stepbrother's farm in Jacobsville, Texas, where he's looking to bust a new and vicious drug cartel. Gloryanne is smart, savvy and ? ercely independent, but her job has put her in danger from the same criminal Rodrigo is investigating. She's drawn to the enigmatic new farmhand, Rodrigo, a man who is much more than he seems. Confused and bitter about love, driven by his dangerous job, Rodrigo's not sure if his reckless offer of marriage to the oh-so-tempting Gloryanne is just a means to completing his mission--or something more. But as Gloryanne's bittersweet miracle and Rodrigo's double life collide, they must face the truth about each other, and decide if there's a chance for the future they both secretly desire.
Awesome book, Diana hit the spot again with the Jacobsville family. The characters and plot always make you feel like you live in the town and you are just watching the story unfold while sitting under a tree.
Great story!!!

I loved this book and the story kept me glued to the pages. It's typical Diana Palmer with her alpha-bad-boy hero but in this book the heroine gave back as good as she got! I don't understand the bad reviews on this book, really. I will buy her future books a well. Well done!
Fear in a factor.

Finally, a great book by Diana Palmer. The last few have not been up to her standard. This was enjoyable from start to finish. I have enjoyed the character of Rodrigo in so many other stories, it was wonderful for him to finally find his own true love. Now if we could only get the story of Tony the Dancer!?
