Rough, Raw and Ready, Paperback/Lorelei James

Torn between the love he has...and the love he's always wanted. Chassie West Glanzer hasn't been a stranger to tragedy. So a year of wedded bliss to sexy-as-sin cowboy Trevor Glanzer has brought her the happiness and contentment she never thought she'd find. And running a ranch has mellowed Trevor's rodeo wanderlust. Then Trevor's old roping partner ambles up the driveway--throwing Chassie's life into chaos. Trevor never expected to see Edgard Mancuso again, after it became clear he couldn't be the man Edgard needed. Now Edgard has returned from Brazil to sort out their tangled past. Although Trevor is hat-over-bootheels in love with his sweet, feisty wife, he's plagued by feelings for Edgard he thought he'd buried years ago. Chassie's shock that Edgard and Trevor were once lovers turns to fear of losing her husband. Or worse, fear that Trevor will stay with her only out of a sense of duty. Edgard wasn't sure how he'd feel about Trevor's wife, but the more time he spends with the big-hearted cowgirl, the deeper their connection becomes. As the three of them test their intimate boundaries together, the sins of the past blur and fade, leaving raw emotion--and unbridled passion. Passion that could heal them...or cause irreparable damage to their future.
