Blurb
Dena Roman needs closure. Three months ago, her sister’s murdered body was found in the California desert. When a second body is found at the same site, Dena jeopardizes her public relations position to go undercover and investigate. But falling for the main suspect isn’t part of her plan. Zeke Cabrera needs help. He sold a portion of his family’s Three C’s Estates to keep his citrus farm afloat, but when bodies are unearthed on the site, he’s suspected of murder. Help comes in the form of a communications expert who makes all the difference in his life and business–and in his heart. Amidst an attack on her life and run-ins with a cantankerous foreman, Dena digs for the truth, even as she forms a strong bond with Zeke. But can their newly found love survive all the deep secrets hidden at Three C’s Estates?

Excerpt
“Someone shot at me!” Dena rushed toward him. Her bottom lip trembled. “Who…who would do that?” Terror was written across her face. He reached out a hand, drew it back. “Are you hurt? Where did it happen?” “Just after I drove onto your private road—” “What? Wait a minute.” He grabbed her elbow and eased her into a chair. She dropped a coat hanger of clothes, a pair of high heels, her purse and laptop onto the foyer floor. “I’m a bit shaky, but I’m not hurt,” Dena mumbled, and lowered her head to almost between her knees. “I get water,” Irma said, and hurried to the kitchen. “Tell me exactly what happened.” Zeke kneeled on the tile floor beside her and stroked the top of her arm. She raised her head. “There’s a hole in the side of my car. I…I could have…could have been killed. Two shots.” She raised two fingers then took in a huge gulp of air. Zeke took the water glass from Irma. “Sip it,” he said to Dena, and held the glass to her lips. “You’ve had an awful shock.” He turned his head. “Grab my phone, please, Irma.” Irma returned a couple of minutes later and handed him his BlackBerry. He still hadn’t made much sense of Dena’s ramblings. “Who would try to kill me?” Dena asked again. She took the glass from him and drained it. Irma bustled over and retrieved it. “I’ve no idea. But we’ll find out.”

My Review:
This was a cat and mouse thriller. The killer as always near Dena and Zeke, however they could never catch him/her. I can not get over the action. There was fire, gun shots, and loose horses. There were dark family secrets that were unearthed as were the bodies. As Dena and Zeke started to care for each other the killer raised the threats. Dena was almost killed, and her pillow with the knife wounds shows how violent the killer is. What will it take for Zeke to admit he loves Dena? How many times is he going to send her away? With the cops at the house everyone is a suspect, and no one is safe from.
I liked the ending, and I was way off. The secondary characters (Zeke's friends) ended up being more important to the story line then I thought. I would like to see a sequel that is 5 years in the future, because I want to know how the ranch turns out.
I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinion are my own!
