The Rampant Heart (The Gordons of Gretna #6)
Jacinta Carey
Wealthy Logan Gordon thought he had it all, a fabulous family, a fantastic near-fiancée. All of it is ripped from him with just a few simple but shocking words. Devastated at the loss of the woman he loves, and the happy life he planned for himself completely in tatters, Logan throws himself into all the work on his family estate.
Logan never wants to endure the pain of love and loss again, and starts to avoid young women or romance and genuine emotions like the plague. He takes a series of greedy widows as mistresses, each worse than the next. He focuses most of his energy on becoming as successful as his cousin Drew, their clan chief. He hires a new veterinarian and his younger brother to take care of a sick pony, and to help him breed native Scottish horses.
Sam the vet's assistant is reputed to be an expert with equines, but Logan has his doubts. How can someone who hasn't even grown a beard yet be so skilled, and arrogant?
But there's more to Sam than meets the eye. He is a SHE, tired of the battle of the sexes in Regency society. She refuses to be a victim to the lust of men. She's also appalled at how so many careers are forbidden her simply because she's a woman. Sam has been living for several years disguised as a man to go to veterinary school, and works hard to keep a roof over her and her brother's head. If the truth is ever discovered, she and Stephen will lose everything.
Logan is sneeringly dismissive of Sam already. How much worse would it be for him to find out she's a woman? Logan seems so cold, contained, calculating. Sam soon starts to realize, however, that there's a sensual man behind Logan's steely exterior aching to break free of all his misery and self-imposed restraint. Despite her disguise, she begins to long for the same. But Logan is Sam's employer AND landlord. To fall in love with him would be to risk all: career, home, heart.
A stunning series of events reveals Sam's true identity at last, and the shocking truth about her past. Will Logan cast her out, furious at being made a fool of? Or will Logan finally see that Fate has given him a second chance at love, and sent him the one woman who matches him in every way, in bed and out?
