Buck (Cowboys)

About This Book

Buck Hobson was abandoned by his parents and abused by the farmer who promised to adopt him. Now he has returned to the Grossek ranch with one goal in mind to get revenge for what happened to him there six years ago. Nathaniel Grossek is dead, but that hasn't stopped Buck from hating him for the abuse he endured. He intends to own the ranch where he was once a slave and no one, including Grossek's terrified widow or spunky daughter, is going to stand in his way. Buck feels his long-lost sister is the only one who can give him the sense of family he wants so desperately. But he discovers revenge isn't as sweet as love, and blood is not always the best family tie. After the death of a father who beat her and her mother, Hannah swears she'll never be at the mercy of a man again. She's seen too much of man's cruelty to want a husband. She's determined to keep the ranch because it's her only chance to be independent. Their ranch won't survive without help, but they can't afford to hire anyone. When Buck arrives with an offer of shared ownership, their only hope is to accept. She intends to use him to get her ranch out of debt and teach her how to run it on her own. But Hannah can't understand Buck's hatred of her or the exciting, frightening new feelings she has for him.
