A Mating of Hawks

He lived free, alone, and proud -- until she conquered his heart with an irresistible fierce love

THEY FOUGHT TO SAVE A HARD-WON LOVE --- AND THE PRICELESS LAND THAT WOULD SHELTER IT!

Spirited Tracy Benoit was summoned back to Arizona by Patrick, dying patriarch of the Rancho del Socorro, Arizona ... where the mesquite traced the majestic timbered rise of the Santa Rita mountains, and the fresh winds swept over the grasslands, ranging up to the skies.

There Tracy was drawn to Shea, Patrick's son, a loner whose storm-gray eyes flashed with an icy passion he fought but could not deny. But as a sweet piercing love grew between them, Patrick died. Now Shea stood against his half-brother, Judd, whose dark desire for Tracy was only surpassed by a boundless greed to sell the ranch for quick profit. Shea had Tracy's love and share of the ranch --- but Judd had a murderous need to have his brother's woman, his brother's land, and even his brother's life!
