The Italian Damsel in DistressâŚ
Gianna often wondered what it would be like to have a loving family, of leaving Italy and seeing the world, and of getting as far away from her father as possible, a man whose associations with the mafia jeopardized the safety of her and her mother. But even in her wildest dreams, Gianna never imagined that she would be the recipient of a multi-million-dollar inheritance, or that she would find herself in southwest Montana, hiding from the man who'd raised her.
When Giannaâs world is suddenly set on fire, her billionaire nephewâs secret ranch and the family that live there become her saving grace. Pine Valley Ranch is remote, peaceful, and far from southern Italy, but Gianna knows the Ambrogio Clan would travel around the world and back again to get their hands on the money that was meant to protect her.
While she waits for word from her nephews as they track down Cleonââthe Giannopoulos cousin who set this catastrophe in motionââGianna will need to look elsewhere for protection. She soon realizes she just might find it, and more, in Cooper Nolan...
The Veteran Cowboy with a Heart of GoldâŚ
Eager to follow in his big brother's footsteps, leave Montana, and see the world, at just eighteen, Cooper enlisted in the Army, rising to the rank of Captain in the 75th Ranger Regiment. By the time he realized that Pine Valley Ranch was the only place he wanted to call home, heâd seen enough pain and destructionââand experienced enough heartacheââto last a life time.
Now, at twenty-nine, the only thing Cooper wants to do is work the ranch, take care of his family, and settle down with a good woman. But when Neo Giannopoulosââthe billionaire who bought his familyâs ranchââcalls the Nolans with a desperate plea, the last thing Cooper expected was for an Italian beauty to walk into his life.
He doesn't know who she's hiding from or why sheâs on the run, but he knows that he cannot rest until he finds a way to heal the hurt in her heart, and calm the fear behind her beautiful brown eyes...
Gianna wants to trust him, and to believe that Pine Valley is the sanctuary everyone claims it to be, but as she falls in love with the ranch and the people who live there, she will have to find a way to keep from falling in love with Cooper. After everything she's been through, her heart is too fragile, and she doesn't want to break his when the truth is revealed...
