A strong, spirited woman who refuses to be tied down finds her wild heart caught between two very different men in this sweeping novel from legendary bestselling author Lisa Kleypas

Liberty Jones dreams of the wider world beyond Welcome, Texas, and has the determination to find it. She also has an untamed heart that leads her into trouble . . . and into the arms of Hardy Cates. Liberty is forbidden fruit Hardy knows he shouldn't taste. He's got ambitions and Liberty is a complication he doesn't want. But neither can deny the attraction between them, a fire that's both magical and dangerous.

Then Hardy is gone. Raising the young sister who needs her and tending her bruised heart, Liberty is vulnerable to the charms of a billionaire tycoon. Everyone thinks Liberty has found a Sugar Daddy, but the bond they share goes deep, and leads her to discover secrets about her family and the past.

Two very different men. One spirited woman. True love or heartache. The choice is Liberty's to make . . .

      Jeannie Stith's experience shines as she narrates this contemporary romance. Stith introduces listeners to Liberty Jones, whose voice resonates with effervescence, despite her difficult life. Her childhood love, Hardy Cates, has a sweet Texas twang that endears him to listeners. Liberty's employer, a wealthy Texan, has a weathered voice that rings true with the wisdom of his age and experience. Liberty is forced to choose between the son of her employer, Gage, whose sensual voice lures her, and Hardy, whose voice has filled her childhood dreams. Stith's storytelling skills are most evident in her portrayal of Liberty, whose perseverance will appeal to listeners of all ages. S.M. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

      Mass market bestseller Kleypas makes her hardcover debut with this entertaining chronicle of Liberty Jones's rise from the trailer park to life in a Texas mansion. The daughter of a Hispanic father (who dies during Liberty's childhood) and a white mother, Liberty pines for the hunky bad boy Hardy Cates while mom Diana has another daughter, Carrington, and scores the occasional windfall to keep the famil afloat. After Diana is killed in a traffic accident, Liberty raises Carrington, gets a beauty school scholarship and lands a gig at an exclusive Houston salon. There she meets investment mogul Churchill Travis, who takes a paternal shine to her. A horse-riding accident puts Churchill in a wheelchair, and he hires Liberty to be his personal assistant, with the catch that both sisters have to live with him. Churchill's oldest son, Gage, immediately distrusts Liberty, and their vicious bickering, as romance readers know, can lead to only one thing. Things get messy once Hardy, now rich, reappears and a Travis family secret is revealed. Though Liberty's plight and redemption are straight out of the soaps and the prose has its trite moments, Kleypas's many readers will root for Liberty, a fiery and likable underdog.

      Stith gives a fine performance in the first-person role of Liberty Jones, a Texas girl from the wrong side of the tracks who struggles to make a life for herself and her younger sister after the death of their mother, and struggles even more with her powerful attraction to a man she can’t have. Stith’s voice conveys earnestness, vulnerability, self-doubt and inner strength, making Liberty an immensely likable heroine who immediately garners the listener’s sympathies. She also does an excellent job as the other characters, particularly the men in Liberty’s life, who are angry, passionate and struggling with their own demons. This entertaining chick lit romance works perfectly on audio and would be a natural for beach listening. Simultaneous release with the St. Martin’s hardcover (Reviews, Sept. 25).
