With work and family responsibilities adding up every single day, it’s no wonder romance can often get pushed aside for later. Fortunately, this Valentine’s Day, five couples will celebrate the day of love in Taos, New Mexico each in their own special way. To my dearest readers: I always love returning to the world of Dax, Harlow and the gang and this book is no exception. Let Dax & Harlow, Benny & Sarah, Sawyer & Alma, Jordan & Addison, and Campbell & Caitlin prove that despite the busy-ness of real life, love (and steamy times!) always conquers all.

After her last relationship ends in disaster, travel nurse Sarah Drexel takes a job on the reservation, believing it far enough away from civilization for anyone to recognize her. But all that changes when environmental protection specialist Benny Turner walks into her clinic. He used to be her best friend until the night she told him her deepest darkest secrets and everything changed between them. But Sarah's not the only one with something to hide. For Benny, being half-Navajo means straddling two worlds. It means never quite belonging to either one without having to constantly prove himself. But just when he decides to settle down on the reservation for good, Benny runs into the only woman he's always wanted but convinced himself he could never have. Until now. Duty or love? Which one will he choose?*
