New York Times Bestselling Author Lori Wilde returns to Cupid, Texas with a heartwarming story of a cowboy who comes home to the family ranch for a wedding filled with surprises…
The illegitimate son of a Texas ranching dynasty, Ridge Lockhart left home ten years ago with one goal: to become more successful than the father who never accepted him.

Mission accomplished, but now he’s back at the Silver Feather Ranch for a wedding—three days of best man duty until he can hightail it out. Then he spies Kaia Alzate, and suddenly leaving isn’t quite so appealing.

Kaia Alzate grew up the daughter of the ranch foreman, servants to the mighty Lockharts in the mansion. Back then, she followed Ridge around like a puppy. Now, she’s fighting the attraction she feels for this sexy CEO. She’s determined not to make a big mistake—but when Ridge takes her in his arms she’s stunned…could he be the man she’s waited for all along?

Guest Review by Yvonne Cruz

When you think an author can’t outdo herself after reading her previous books, you get Ms Wilde to prove you wrong !

I have come to the conclusion that this talented author is under-estimated and hope that with this review, others will join me in appreciating her talent.

In this story, we have Ridge Lockhart, the illegitimate son of a wealthy rancher, who has become wealthy on his own account and has had a turbulent relationship with his father, all his life. The other main character is Kaia Alzate, the young sister of his best friend, who in their youth followed the two boys everywhere and has had a crush on Ridge most of her life. She is going to school to become a Veterinarian, but has had some stumbling blocks in her way. Still, she embraces life in a way that Ridge doesn’t. 

Aside from a great storyline there is so much more to this story.

It’s a story about family, home and love. A reminder that we have to slow down and literally, stop and smell the roses. A reminder that wealth is not about things, but about experiencing life and cherishing it. That we must put family, love, and relationships above everything else, because that’s where the true treasures in life exist.

Thank you, Ms Wilde, for that reminder. I can’t wait for your book to be published.

REVIEW:

Ridge is always ready for action when it comes to his girl, “I hope you don’t mean that literally,” he said impishly. “Because I already am. Up, that is.” Kaia darted a quick glance at him, and sure enough the covers were tented below his waist..." I lovedthis book, Kaia was just a breath of fresh air, the girl was always positive and upbeat, she was perfect for Ridge.
