"Renegade Father" (Безудержный отец)
Джо Редхок получил возможность начать жизнь с чистого листа, далеко от своей репутации бывшего заключенного, далеко от единственной женщины, которую он когда-либо любил: бывшей жены его брата - и его собственного начальника. Слишком долго он наблюдал со стороны, слишком долго желал, чтобы она принадлежала ему... Этот сильный и решительный представитель коренных американцев был не просто лучшим управляющим на ранчо Энни. Он был ее жизненной любовью... и отцом их маленькой девочки. Но если она расскажет ему сейчас, после всех этих лет, смогут ли они стать семьей или она потеряет его навсегда?
Цитаты из книги
Poverty, rejection, tragedy. Bad things happen. People die. Friends get taken away. Things can get so bad that being strong or good doesn't save you. Being strong only gets you hurt. For every father healed by remembering his son, he also watches that son suffer with him. Memories overwhelm him. There are many times when being strong only makes things worse. And if people don't know you when you come back to them alive, it's not their fault. It's the world that's changed on them while you were away. When you're away, you can change. You have some choices and make decisions. You're still you, a part of yourself, a human heart. Even when life isn't good and your past catches up with you, there's an ache in the back of your mind, down in your gut, throbbing for a chance when it all changes. A day comes when you can let go of the past and walk tall. It wasn't easy, in my case, to give Charley the watch on his birthday last year. Going back made me feel like a poor, selfish fool and I felt a pang of shame. I dressed for work, picked up what was left of my brother's watch before leaving, set it adrift on the Hudson on a noon-time fog-shrouded morning and walked back to my life. When I returned home that night Charley opened the door to usher me in. She hugged me, held my face close. "You know, you've got more balls than a Mohawk pony. That's what I think. In fact, I'm going to make a drink for us and proceed to tell you what a horrible father you have been.

Описание книги от RaeAnne Thayne
Joe Redhawk had a chance to start over, away from his reputation as an ex-con, away from the only woman he'd ever loved: his brother's ex-wife–and his own boss. He'd been watching from the sidelines for too long, wishing she were his for too long….The hard-hewn Native American was much more than just the best foreman Annie's ranch had ever had. He was the love of her life…and the father of her little girl. But if she told him now, after all these years, could they be a family–or would they lose him forever?
