Cimarron Rose

Cimarron Rose
Nicole Foster

Desperate to help her mother regain her health, she had taken on the older woman's identity as the alluring singer The St. Louis Songbird.She never dreamed as she entertained the crowds that she possessed her own special magic–and an innocent allure strong enough to catch the eye of the enigmatic Case Durham. But was Case a man she could trust with her most guarded secret?Case was surprised by his reaction to the beautiful stranger's voice. And by the fact that her image haunted his waking hours. He couldn't afford an interest in a woman whose reputation was bandied about in saloons. Despite her appeal, he had his daughter's happiness to protect, not to mention his own guarded heart!

Watching him, Katlyn’s heart beat faster and harder

She didn’t know whether it was from nerves or from a growing sense of annoyance with the arrogance radiating from the man.

He made his way to her in a few long-legged strides, offering her a curt nod of his head and a cool handshake in welcome. “I’m Case Durham. I own the St. Martin. We’ve corresponded several times.”

Katlyn nodded in reply. This close to him, she could see he wasn’t as dark as the shadows had painted him, with the exception of his expression. His hair was more the color of polished oak, his eyes a deep, mesmerizing green, sharp and hard as gemstones.

As hard as Case Durham seemed to be.
