Synopsis
DEA agent Rodrigo Ramirez is sent undercover to Gloryanne Barnes's stepbrother's farm in Jacobsville, Texas, where he's looking to bust a new and vicious drug cartel. Gloryanne is smart, savvy and fiercely independent, but her job has put her in danger from the same criminal Rodrigo is investigating. She's drawn to the enigmatic new farmhand, Rodrigo, a man who is much more than he seems.
Confused and bitter about love, driven by his dangerous job, Rodrigo's not sure if his reckless offer of marriage to the oh-so-tempting Gloryanne is just a means to completing his mission—or something more. But as Gloryanne's bittersweet miracle and Rodrigo's double life collide, they must face the truth about each other, and decide if there's a chance for the future they both secretly desire.
Publishers Weekly
After a convoluted setup, romance master Palmer settles into her sizzling story about drug smuggling in Texas. Central to the tale is tiny, unpretentious Gloryanne Barnes, a formidable prosecutor in the San Antonio district attorney's office whose bum hip, twice broken in childhood, has left her disabled. A major drug czar whom Glory put away is using his worldwide connections to plot a hit on her. After a bullet whizzes by her ear, she's sent to work as a canner at a small organic farm to keep her out of harm's way—a move that turns out to be unexpectedly fraught with danger and romance. Taciturn farm manager Rodrigo Ramirez is more than he appears to be, as is Glory, undercover as a "little country hick." It takes a tragedy for the two proud individuals to learn trust, as both are swept up in violence and passion. (June)
