Once…And For Always
Brodie Hayes is a former rodeo star, now a rancher—a cowboy, through and through. But when he finds out some shocking news about the circumstances of his birth, he begins to question his identity. Luckily, private investigator Alexandra Donovan is there to help him find the truth about who he is. Along the way, he discovers that even a man who thought he'd be alone for the rest of his life can fall in love.
For Brodie, love was something you did once—and for always. But is Alex the type of woman who can take on a stubborn man like him? Because there's one thing about him that will never change, no matter what they find out about his past—once a cowboy, always a cowboy.

I enjoyed the story very much. (NFM)

This is a fabulous series - I found it hard to put the book down, and couldn't wait to get on to the next one in the series!  (All the while dreading when I would be finished the series)  This is the best series that I have read since I fell in love with the McKeddricks!  Too bad that there were only 5 books to the series.

Becky was the daughter of the sherriff.  Although many of the boys had crushes on her, they were too afraid of her father to ask her out.  Except for Luke.  Who was a wild & crazy teen (and still is a little wild & crazy---aren't all the best heroes??).  Luke was dared to ask Becky out, but they both fell in love. Then, she learned of the dare and broke his heart.

Claire and Dean Rennels had been married for 25 years. They had two grown daughters and Claire was finally going to get a chance to go back to college and get a teaching degree.

Bk #55--Back Cover: Luke Chisum spent most of his life running from his past. Now a family crisis has brought the former River Bluff daredevil home. Home to the small-town girl he still loves--and the secret that could tear them apart again.
