Josi Roberts is the stable manager at Beaumont Ranch and hasn't seen her friend Tara in quite a while. After receiving a phone call and agreeing to pick her up at the local motel, Josi arrives just in time to dodge gunfire and see Tara running away. Lincoln Beaumont, one of many brothers in the Beaumont family, is furious that Josi was in harm's way and that the gunman saw her face. Agreeing to protect her while his family tracks down the shooters is more difficult than he ever imagined. It seems everyone is aware of the feelings the two share for each other even if they haven't acted on them. VERDICT Throughout this suspense-filled novel, Lindsey (Innocent Witness) slowly unfolds the love story of Lincoln and Tara. Readers will fall in love with the entire Beaumont family.--Shondra Brown (Library Journal).
