HE'D BEEN ROBBED OF HIS FAMILY, HIS HERITAGE...Walker Ashton wished his sister had never discovered that their mother was still alive. And worse, he wished she hadn't convinced him to find her. After all, he was acting CEO at Ashton-Lattimer, and he had always put business before pleasure....But pleasure is what he sought when he met Tamra Winter Hawk, the woman caring for his estranged mother, and the most beautiful Native American he'd ever seen. Still, this woman had taken his place in his family. He should be feeling anything but attraction. Walker didn't know why Tamra affected him so deeply, why she made him yearn for a forbidden liaison. Was he trying to punish her? Or was he hell-bent on torturing himself? Only time would tell....
