Cover of The Heartbreaker by Nicole Jordan

Heather Ashford has faced the unpleasant facts. Burdened by her deceased father's debts and unwilling to marry the man who owns the debts, she accepts the marriage proposal of a man she has never met: cattle baron and widower Sloan McCord. She then moves to Colorado to care for her new husband's small child. But what she finds is a handsome man who is heartbroken by grief over the death of his first wife and who is unwilling to let Heather into his heart, although he is more than willing to let her into his bedchamber. But Heather finds that passion alone is just not enough and determines to break through the shell to win the heart of this handsome and exciting stranger that she calls her husband.

The Heartbreaker is a fascinating tale of passion and adventure in the Old West. With her trademark steamy love scenes and vivid characterizations, Nicole Jordan lives up to her reputation as one of romance's most popular writers. The enigmatic and sensual Sloan McCord is an enchanting and compelling hero and the determined yet vulnerable Heather will win readers' hearts. An excellent, exciting read.
