From the bestselling author of sizzling novels that have thrilled millions comes a riveting tale of love and betrayal... Cader Harris shook the dust of Hayden, Louisiana, from his feet eighteen years ago, aided by his football prowess, his movie-star good looks -- and most of all by a handsome payoff from Foster Doyle Hayden, who thought that Cader wasn't good enough for his daughter, Irene. Cader enjoyed a prosperous career, and more than his share of beautiful women. Now, with his fortunes running low, Cader has come home for a last chance at the big time...and much more. When Irene Hayden married someone else and too few months later gave birth to a boy, Cader was shocked. He kept to his side of the bargain...until a secret deal with Delta Oil gave him an excuse to see his son and the golden, tempestuous woman he should have claimed long ago.
