Mesa Falls, Montana – Present
Day
For months, Desmond Pierce
and his best friends have been trying to track down Nicole Cruz. She is the
guardian of a thirteen-year-old boy who may or may not be the biological son of
their late friend, Zack. For years they have tried to protect the circumstances
surrounding Zack’s death but is the boy tied to the reason Zack jumped to his
death? Nicole finally agrees to meet with Desmond in Mesa Falls to discuss the
paternity, but upon her arrival, he discovers that she came alone. The boy,
Matthew, is autistic and she didn’t want to disrupt his life by bringing him to
Montana. The moment Desmond meets Nicole in person, he feels an attraction
toward her that he can’t explain.
Nicole got custody of Matthew
after her half-sister died unexpectedly a year ago. It’s been a tough ride, but
she’s determined to find out who the mysterious father is since it’s been
hidden all these years. She narrowed it down to one of the “teenage boys” who
attended a private school where her half-sister taught, but she’d need DNA
tests to prove it. After Nicole arrives, Desmond explains that the only
possible father is Zack. While they discuss and wait for more evidence, Nicole
and Desmond get to know one another. Indeed, their mutual attraction soon
proves to be irresistible.
Nicole has custody of the
potential heir to a large fortune in Joanne Rock’s THE HEIR, the final book in
her Mesa Falls series. Throughout the series, Nicole has been the
subject of much speculation after she first arrived—briefly—in Mesa Falls to snoop
around to see if she could figure out if one of the teenage boys—now grown
men—were the father to her nephew. Since then, she has laid low with Matthew as
she considers her next moves. But Desmond and his buddies sent a private
investigator after her until she finally “gave up” and agreed to meet them. Desmond
and his friends want to get to the bottom of the paternity and see if there is
a link to Zack’s death.
Meanwhile, the attraction
between Desmond and Nicole turns to passion. Their lives are both at odds and
disparate. Her first responsibility is Matthew, so there are issues getting
involved with the “enemy.” He may want to deny Matthew’s right to know who his
father is. But soon, Nicole and Desmond are working together to solve the
mystery—and spending their nights locked in each other’s arms. As THE HEIR
winds down, the final clues to both Matthew’s paternity and why it was kept a
secret all these years are resolved.
A passionate and captivating
tale about the antics of teenage boys that come back to haunt them years later.
Don’t miss the riveting final book in the series, THE HEIR.
