When his sister and her husband are killed in an accident, Aussie cattle station owner Lachlan McCoughney rushes to Texas to rescue their infant daughter, Chloe. He expects to find his niece living in squalor with the Sheffields, a rodeo family.
Instead, Lachlan finds Holden Sheffield, a salt-of-the-earth cowboy running a huge business operation.

Review: Two rich cowboys, and a female worth fighting for.! Can I give it a 10?
Two rich cowboys …one an Australian station owner and the business person, the other a Texan Rancher find themselves in a fight over a female. Not any ordinary girl. This one is their niece. A baby at that.
Holden has left the custody of Chloe after his brother, and his wife dies in an accident. Lachlan has been looking for his sister for nearly three years and gets the news she has been found…only she is dead and has a child. His family wants her.
Holden flies across the ocean with the sole purpose of retrieving his niece believing the family that has her are trashy travelling rodeo people. What he finds is a very wealthy, loving, family, and a sexy cowboy that will die before letting anyone take Chloe from him.
Oh man, I have no idea where to start. First off… grab a box of tissue before you begin the book. Second…make sure you have time to read it all; you won’t want to put it down.
I love B.. A. Tortuga and I think this is one of her best yet. I fell in love with both Holden and Lachlan and, of course, Chloe. We begin with sadness; then there are some brawls so there is lots of action the first twist is a nail biter so keep some clippers handy.
Then when you think it’s all settled down more angst, more drama, but the ending is satisfying. So there is lots of action, heartfelt angst, and some breathtaking sex.
If you love cowboys..both Texan and Australian, babies, drama, angst, suspense and some hot man-sex this is definitely or you.
I highly recommend this!
