A grumpy/sunshine, insta-love, forbidden romance, family saga told in flashbacks, small town romance from NY Times Bestselling author Lorelei James. An epic love story that spans fifty years... The moment Carson McKay saw the voluptuous blonde at the dance hall he was tempted to throw her over his shoulder, race to the closest church and make her his. Given his reputation as a lover and a fighter-not necessarily in that order-it wasn't surprising she gave him the cold shoulder. But he definitely wasn't expecting the right hook when he tried to steal a kiss. Carolyn West might look sweet and innocent, but she's no fool. The handsome charmer with the beautiful blue eyes and heart-stopping smile didn't really want to marry her; he just fancied taking her for a test ride. But when he kisses her a second time, she can't fight her burning attraction to him...until she learns he's one of the wild McKay cowboys she's been warned about. Carson doesn't care about the long-standing feud between the Wests and the McKays-Carolyn owns his heart, body and soul. The more intimate they become, the more Carolyn sees the real man behind the reputation-a man who craves the same forever connection she does...a man who will stay by her side and give her the love of a lifetime.
