For the hardworking folks of Morgantown, home really is where the heart is. But sometimes it takes leaving for a while to figure that out. In New York Times bestselling author Kate Pearce's fourth Millers of Morgan Valley novel, Kaiden Miller uses his carpenter skills to renovate the a rundown neighboring ranch for the ailing owner, the father of his childhood nemesis, Julia Garcia. Can these two old foes ignore the sparks between them?

Kaiden Miller may be the family jokester, but he takes his work on their ranch very seriously. And as a sought-after master carpenter to boot, he's busier than ever. Still, when he's asked to renovate the neighboring ranch, he's more than willing. The owner, Juan Garcia, is ailing, and Kaiden expects to find the property pretty run down. He doesn't expect to find his old nemesis--Juan's daughter, Julia--overseeing his work...

Julia's not sure why Kaiden never liked her. But if working with him makes life easier for her father, so be it. Yet to her surprise, not only is Kaiden great with her father, he's great with her too. As the weeks pass, it becomes harder to ignore their simmering attraction. And when Julia's boss turns up with a sweet deal, both she and Kaiden will have to decide where their loyalties--and their hearts--lie...

About the author

Kate Pearce

Kate Pearce was born into a large family of girls in England, and spent much of her childhood living very happily in a dream world. Despite being told that she really needed to 'get with the program', she graduated from the University College of Wales with an honors degree in history.After graduation, real life did intervene and she ended up working in finance which was not the greatest career choice for a would-be writer!

A move to the USA finally allowed her to fulfill her dreams and sit down and write that novel. Along with being a voracious reader, Kate loves trail riding with her family, 'western style' in the regional parks of Northern California.

Kate writes in several different romance sub-genres under different names. She is a member of RWA and is published by Kensington Aphrodisia, Ellora's Cave, Virgin Black Lace/Cheek and now Rouge.
