Even in the wide open spaces of Texas, secrets find a place to hide…in the heart of a shy determined woman; behind the hard, rugged exterior of a DEA agent; and in the dangerous world of drug smuggling.
Rodrigo Ramirez is sent undercover as an itinerant laborer on Gloryanne Barnes’s stepbrother’s farm in Jacobsville, where he’s looking to bust a new and vicious cartel operating south of the border. 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, and who stirs a desire that leaves her breathless. But secrets are about to shatter all their lives, for better, for worse…and maybe forever.
Gloryanne’s sweet innocence is too much temptation for a tormented man. Confused and bitter about love, driven by his dangerous job and searching for answers, Rodrigo is not sure if his reckless offer of marriage is just a means to completing his mission—or something more. But as Gloryanne’s bittersweet miracle and Rodrigo’s double life collide, two people learning just what it means to trust must face the truth about each other, and decide if there’s a chance for the future they both secretly desire.

"Rodrigo is the absolute worst a-hole character Diana Palmer has ever created. I love the LTT series.. Ugh I really don't think he could ever do enough to redeem himself!!! "
— Phade (4 out of 5 stars)
" Interesting characters and plot. "
— Katherine, 3/2/2011" The hero treated the heroine so terribly, that by the end of the book I hated him. When she forgave him and ran back into his arms, I just thought she was weak and stupid. Lame book. "
— Britt, 2/25/2011" This is the WORSE book I’ve ever read and I love romance books with dominate tall rough man. "
— Cynthia, 12/8/2010" This was a good romance/suspense story. I didn't like how mean Rodrigo was to Gloryanne and how status conscious he was but other than that I liked it. Palmer is a first time author for me and I will read more. "
— Paula, 8/17/2010" This book was awful. Please don't read it. <br/> "
— Glorious77, 1/21/2010" Heart breaker and then things turn out "
— Lori, 8/16/2009" I think I would have enjoyed this more if I hadn't read so many of her other books. They are all starting to blur together and so many have such similiar plot lines "
— Jodi, 7/2/2009" Aaarrrgh! When will I learn not to pick up her books. This was a sappy, predictable plot and full of cliches. "
