McKettrick's Luck (McKettrick Men Series #1)
The first installment in Miller's new trilogy features the present-day  descendants of the heroes from her earlier McKettrick novels; fortunately, the  new generation fills in admirably. Cheyenne Bridges makes a reluctant return to  her hometown of Indian Rock, Ariz., her job hinging on whether she can persuade  her high school flame Jesse McKettrick to sell some of his land for her  employer's condo development deal. Jesse, a confirmed bachelor and committed  poker player, refuses outright to sell his land—at the same time he refuses  to acknowledge the feelings that Cheyenne stirs up in him. Miller's ability to  bring a cast of characters to life is on full display here, as Cheyenne must  decide whether to use whatever means necessary to get Jesse to sell the land or  surrender to the hunky rancher and join his team. Though her plot twists are  somewhat predictable, the veteran romance author doesn't disappoint in her  sizzling love scenes and fine sense of place.(Feb.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
