Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Dear Reader, Montana has provided the setting for some of my favorite stories. In the late 1980s I wrote Tender Trap and Aftermath featuring Denver and Colton McLean-two brothers returning to their family ranch after years away, confronting the secrets left behind. I'm thrilled that they're now available in one volume, with a striking new cover and title, Backlash . . . The ranch country of Montana is beautiful, unforgiving, and for Colton and Denver McLean, filled with a whole lot of bad memories. It's been seven years since a fire claimed their parents' lives and drove both brothers away. Now their uncle's death has brought them back to a place where loyalty and love runs deep-but so do grudges. Suspicion still swirls about what caused that tragic fire. It created a rift between Denver and the foreman's daughter, Tessa Kramer. Now Tessa hopes to buy the ranch, if Denver and Colton will agree to sell, but the property is beset by problems. A prized stallion disappears. Other horses start falling sick. Someone seems determined to disrupt-or destroy-the McLean family's legacy by any means necessary. And finding answers will turn this homecoming into a time of reckoning with enemies past and present . . . I hope you enjoy coming back to Montana with me!
Both titles comprising Backlash were originally published by Silhouette Books in 1989.
Aftermath. 1989 -- Tender trap. 1989.
Tender trap: with his itch to travel spurring him on, young Colton McLean had vowed to wear blinders against sweetly tempting Cassie Aldridge. But one moonlit Montana night, passion had galloped out of control and she d tried to rope him into marriage. Refusing to listen, refusing to forgive, he d cut loose and run. Now, years later, an eyeful of the woman Cassie had become told him he was still a slave to desire. She swore she d never tried to tie him down, that love could set a person free. Suspicion and yearning warred in his gut. Had he been wrong all this time? And, if so, would Cassie ever let him back into her tender embrace? Aftermath: 19 and burning with love, Tessa had given herself wholly to Denver under the wide Montana sky. But that was only moments before flames had ripped through the McLean ranch, casting deadly suspicion on Tessa's ardor and leaving her dreams in ashes. Denver had abandoned her without a backward glance. Now, years later, he was back, a cold embittered stranger. Yet beneath his harsh exterior was the man Tessa had never stopped loving. Desire rekindled, hot and fierce. Still, Denver harbored lasting scars from a long-ago blaze of passion and betrayal. Was it possible for Tessa to fight fire with fire?
