But Cord spots her in town and, with the sheriff away, makes a citizen’s arrest, dragging her off to the Wainwright ranch until the sheriff’s return. As the family feud continues to smolder, Cord and Sarah make a most inconvenient discovery–they are falling in love. Can they betray their families for love? Or will their families betray them?

ISLAND BREEZES
You’re really going to need that box of tissues before you finish this book. It’s not easy to come out on the other side of a horrendous feud.
Lives are destroyed and people die while Cord and Sarah attempt to get past this family feud. One of the families includes seriously stubborn people.
It took nearly the entire book before I saw it. This is the story of the prodigal son and the emotions of that son.
My heart’s still back in the Rockies. I’m glad this is the beginning of a series. I’m looking forward to more about these families.
