"A cowboy and a pilot go head to head!"

When his parents disappeared twelve years before on a cruise, T. A. Gentry V or Cinco came home from college to take care of his younger brother and sister. Cinco has an Internet security protection business but he also takes care of all aspects of the family ranch. Now his best friend Kyle wants him to take care of a retired Air Force pilot who witnessed a murder and now needs protection. Cinco reluctantly agrees.

Meredith 'Frosty' Powell has pretty much lived under her father's controlling influences all of her life and now that her father's dead, Meredith is ready to stretch her wings just a little bit. Now she has to hide in the middle of nowhere until the murderer is caught.

Cinco and Meredith have absolutely no way of knowing how they will react to each other but neither need any sort of complication in their lives so they fight their unwanted attraction tooth and nail. Meredith absolutely detests Cinco's controlling attitude and Cinco can't believe Meredith is so bossy. It's not until they open up to each other just a little bit that they begin to understand each other but Meredith is leaving soon so nothing can come of it, or can it?

This story had all the elements that I love in a book. Cinco and Meredith were made for each other but only the reader really sees this and sees why. I know I was pulling for them to make it throughout the entire book. I rapidly flipped pages until the end. As much as I enjoyed this one, I eagerly anticipate Cinco's sibling's stories!
