Everyone has a secret... but some secrets could destroy everything. Brooke Daniels has spent her life searching for one thing: her birth mother. Orphaned young and raised in foster care, all she's ever wanted is to love and be loved. After a decade of searching, she finally gets a promising lead and finds Lisa Scoffield working at Ryder Ranch in Wild Rose, Iowa. But when Brooke meets her mother face-to-face, she's mistaken for the new cook. Seizing the chance to get closer, she keeps her true identity a secret... for now. Ranch owner Dylan Ryder is sexy, brooding, and surprisingly irresistible. Brooke tries to ignore the chemistry, reminding herself she's here for her mother--not an affair. But passion is hard to resist, and soon they're wrapped in wild, unforgettable nights together. Brooke has never been happier, but some secrets can't stay hidden forever. Will Lisa discover Brooke's identity? Can Dylan keep his past buried? And when Brooke finally reveals her own deepest secret, will it destroy the life--and love--she's been dreaming of?
