**Rugged and rough, Nick Kincade carefully guards his secrets as he lives by his own law.** Yet the cold-as-steel ex-Texas Ranger is willing to escort the bewitching, headstrong lady back East. For the past has already linked Victoria's destiny with his. And anything can happen on the hard, twisting trail -- especially for two **strong courageous hearts who are irresistibly drawn to adventure ... and to the searing, white-hot flame of perilous desire.**
