Her Renegade Cowboy

Lora Leigh. St. Martin’s, $9.99 mass market (336p) ISBN 978-1-250-25201-2

The third in Leigh’s Moving Violations series (after Strong, Silent Cowboy) combines heat and heart into an explosive package. New ranch hand and former army ranger Levi Roberts has caught the eye of every unattached female in tiny Deer Haven, Calif.—grade school teacher Lily Donovan included, though she’s not in the market for a boyfriend. Prickly Lily has concrete walls around her heart after being abducted and nearly killed a year and a half earlier by the evil Graham Brisbee, who’d once been a trusted teacher and mentor. When Brisbee escapes from prison, Lily knows her life may be in danger, but she refuses protective custody, determined not to let the unhinged man radically alter her life. After she and Levi finally give in to their explosive chemistry, she’s confident Levi has her back. But Levi’s hiding a huge secret—and when Lily finds out, their future together is thrown into jeopardy. Leigh excels at creating believable suspense and characters readers will fall for, and this narrative contains both in abundance. Fans old and new will be captivated from the first page. (Sept.)
