He’ll do whatever it takes to forget the past and the woman who betrayed him.
What will he do when learning an assumed truth was a lie?Bay’s Desire, Book Nine, MacLarens of Boundary Mountain Historical Western Romance Series
Bayard Donahue lives to forget the past. The woman he loves, could never get enough of, and married, betrayed him in the worst way. The physical scars from that night don’t compare to the memories he can’t forget.
Suzette Gasnier shouldn’t still love Bay. He abandoned her, shoving her aside without caring about the truth. Desperate to forget the man she refuses to divorce, Suzette accepts a job managing a new restaurant and hotel in Conviction, a town days away from her home in St. Louis. It’s the opportunity she’s dreamed of, until learning Bay is one of her bosses.
No longer interested in continuing his career as a hired gun, Bay spends his days practicing law. At night, he escorts beautiful women into the restaurant where Suzette works, making certain to flaunt them before her. He only needs her to sign the divorce decree, then he can finally put the past behind him.
At least that’s what Bay thinks until learning what he thought happened in St. Louis might be far different than what he believes. And discovering someone is out to kill him.
AMAZON 4 STARS
This is a book that I have been wanting and waiting to read and it did NOT disappoint.
It also showed quite clearly the damage that jumping to conclusions and letting pride rule causes. Several years of unnecessary pain is at least one thing.
Both main characters were ones that I enjoyed and they had quite the struggle a head of them. They also had loyal family and friends who were there to support them and to help as much as they were allowed.
One of the supporting friends was August, who was also a co-partner with Bay. Talk about him going the extra mile! We find out just how much as the story goes on.
Bay's enemies are more than willing to go the extra mile to exterminate him as painfully as possible. And one of those enemies want him to suffer a lot. He already has done some damage which Bay is just not aware of yet. Some truly clever, evil is at work. If you like plenty of action in a story, this one has it.
Trust is going to be a major challenge if Bay and Suzette are ever going to go forward in any relationship. But are they going to be able to do anything? Because it's getting more clear that danger is coming for them.
I liked the way the story ended. This author has an interesting way of not only solving the story but throwing out a hook about another person in the story. It comes as a surprise that you don't see coming but I find that I like that.
I voluntarily read an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and this is how I felt about it.
