Part of Rosemary Beach, book 10
First published 2015
Mase Colt-Manning chooses ranch life in Texas over his rock star father's glamorous world. He avoids Rosemary Beach and his cruel half-sister Nan's mansion whenever possible. During one reluctant visit, he discovers a young house maid singing country music off-key but with pure joy. Reese Ellis has finally broken free from years of abuse tied to her undiagnosed learning disorder. She works as a maid for Rosemary Beach's wealthy families, desperate to keep her independence. When she causes an accident at Nan Dillon's house, her job hangs in the balance. A half-dressed cowboy appears and steps in to help her. Reese feels drawn to Mase but fights the attraction. Every man in her past has hurt her. She wants to believe Mase might be different, but trust feels impossible after a lifetime of betrayal and pain.
