It’s not so secret as secluded, and surprisingly, after what she’s been through at the hands of those in power, Taya is just fine with that. It’s peaceful and simple. Unpretentious. Safe. After all, what could possibly happen to her in the desert, where the smell of the sagebrush after the desert rain is like a drug? And who knew she’d discover the most masculine and intriguing man she’d ever met out in the middle of nowhere? Sometimes power has more to do with strength, than with politics.Praise for Jaclyn’s booksAmazingly wonderful! Adorably fun! Sweetly romantic!I so want more from this author! Shauna Wheelwright
