Brash

Wright’s capable third Cavanaugh Brothers contemporary western (after Broken) finally begins to reveal the true story of Cass Cavanaugh’s murder. Champion fighter Cole Cavanaugh has done everything he can to suppress the pain of his twin sister’s death. Veteri­narian Grace Hunter, the daughter of their Texas town’s former sheriff, wants to believe she’s no longer a fool for bad boys. When the two unite to continue investigating the murder, they are too close to ignore their mutual attraction. Worse, their efforts produce nothing but distractions in the week before Cole’s big rematch fight. Some late revelations promise closure on Cass’s death, allowing the romance to enjoy its own satisfying resolution. Wright once again delivers her signature mix of dramatic tension and delectable passion. (Mar.)
