The blizzard shut down O’Hare stranding travelers like affluent lawyer
Chance Barron at least overnight. Also
trapped in Chicago is Cassidy Morgan, who was flying to Oklahoma City to say
goodbye to her dying father Ben. Pulling
no sugarcoated punches; Uncle Boots tells her tomorrow morning will be too late
to see Ben alive, but he will delay the cremation until she can see her dad one
last time. Though she lives in the city,
the storm made it impossible to go home.
At a hotel near the airport, Chance and Cass meet in a bar and soon
share the night.
The next morning, flights start taking off with Chance and Cass
both heading to Oklahoma City; and once there onto Royal, Texas. Each wants to see the other, but she has a
funeral and a ranch sale. His
influential jackass father Cyrus loathed her dad over a woman decades ago so
even with Ben dead his grudge lives. Ergo
he interferes with his son’s intimate relationship with his enemy’s daughter.
The first Red Dirt Royalty contemporary is an enjoyable seemingly
star-crossed romance. Readers root for
courageous Cass while wondering when, if ever, Chance will stand up to his
martinet father and just say no.
