Libby Remington was devastated when Tate betrayed her with a casual acquaintance and fathered twin daughters. Since that time she's gamely soldiered on with her animal-rescue and coffee shop work while avoiding Tate as much as possible. But Tate's marriage collapses soon after the girls are born, and now he's running the ranch, trying to be a good parent and cope with his ex-wife's outrageous demands and tantrums, while battling his never-forgotten feelings for Libby. Miller's contemporary romance introduces a new branch of her enduringly popular McKettrick clan with the first in a series of three tales centered around hell-raising brothers Tate, Garrett, and Austin and their true loves, the three Remington sisters (Libby, Julie, and Paige). Expect high demand from loyal readers, although this tale is weak in terms of character development (the sisters seem more passive-aggressive than Miller's usual take-charge protagonists), focus (subplots introduced to ramp up the emotional tension fade away unresolved), and real-life details.

Devastated by the discovery of revered mentor/longtime employer U.S. Senator Morgan Cox's infidelity and public display of poor judgment, Garrett McKettrick heads home to the Silver Spur Ranch to regroup. But instead of leisurely examining his options, he must deal with cattle rustlers, an all-too-attractive houseguest and her precocious son, and elder brother Tate's ultimatum to either help run the ranch or sell it. High-school teacher Julie Remington, four-year-old Calvin, and their three-legged dog, Harry, are temporarily occupying the main houseguest suite while their rented home is being fumigated. Although Julie and Garrett have no history to overcome like her sisters and his brothers, her own insecurities seem likely to prevent her from reaching out to grab happiness, be it ever so fleeting. Miller's fast-moving, emotional contemporary romance continues the McKettricks series' plotlines, with more installments to come.

A lot has happened since Tate McKettrick broke Libby Remington's heart by marrying anotherâand regretting it. Now, he is divorced, the father of six-year-old twin girls, and responsible for running the Silver Spur ranchâbut he can't forget his first love. Libby can't forget Tate, either, but whether she's willing to take a chance with him is another matter entirely. VERDICT A passionate love too long denied drives the action in this multifaceted, emotionally rich reunion story that overflows with breathtaking sexual chemistry. This is the first in a projected trilogy that takes three McKettrick brothers, pairs them with the three Remington sisters, and lets the sparks fly. Miller (A Creed Country Christmas) lives in Spokane.
