Running Wild

Read Running Wild Storyline:

Difficult to catch. . .Following the tragic, violent death of her best friend, Boston aristocrat Star Montgomery has pledged her life to fighting for women’s rights. Because one cannot fight male supremacy when one is legally bound to obey one of the supreme, she's also vowed never to marry. Yet, with the hot Montgomery blood flowing through her veins, she sees no reason she oughtn't to experience the more sensual aspects of the marriage bed. Six irritatingly uncooperative fiancés—and one creepy secret admirer later—she and her family journey to Colorado, where she meets rugged rancher Nick McGraw. Handsome, with just a hint of danger, he is the perfect man for her introduction to passion, and she sets about seducing him. Impossible to tame. . .Nick, though, has no interest in being Star’s latest plaything. An honorable man does not ruin his friend’s daughter or sister, no matter how seductive she is; a respectable woman’s answer to sexual desire is marriage. Marriage though, between a Boston blue-blood and a rough, uncultured Colorado rancher is out of the question. Still when the Montgomerys invite him to spend the summer with them in posh Newport RI, he can’t resist. There, as he falls in love with Star’s wild spirit, he is tortured by desire. To keep his honor, he can’t stay. But he can’t leave, either, because Star’s secret admirer is no longer just writing letters pleading with her to leave the women’s rights movement. He’s acting—stealthily, possibly murderously. . .

Difficult to catch. . .impossible to tame. . . Orphaned in the Colorado wilderness at nineteen with a brother to raise, cowboy Nick McGraw grew up fast and hard.

Despite threats from a secret admirer warning her to quit, Star Montgomery is passionately committed to the women’s rights movement. She’s steadfastly rejected the institution of marriage, for one cannot fight male supremacy when one must obey the supreme. Yet, with the hot Montgomery blood flowing through her veins, Star’s determined to experience the sensual joys of the marriage bed. Nicholas, handsome with a hint of danger, is the perfect man for the job. And perfect comfort to the fear stalking her. . . Nick has spent his entire life taming the West; he has no notion of how to tame a Boston aristocrat. He refuses Star’s advances, for an honorable man doesn’t ruin his friend’s daughter. Still, captivated by Star’s wild spirit and worried for her safety, he agrees to spend the summer with the Montgomerys in the glittering resort of Newport, Rhode Island. There, tortured by desire, he battles with Star for control over a relationship that has no future. To keep his honor, Nick can’t stay. But he can’t leave either, because Star’s secret admirer is no longer satisfied with threats. He's taking action, determined to silence Star’s voice even if it means murder. . .
