They Had Nothing In Common. Except One Night… That magical night was everything model Rachel Barlow had ever hoped for. But in the morning, J. D. Stanley was gone, and he'd taken her heart with him. Rachel knew she'd never see him again…until, like a white knight, he charged in and rescued her from exhaustion, taking her to his west Texas ranch to recuperate. Rachel has known her share of hardship, but nothing is as difficult as living with the sexy cowboy who tries his best to avoid her. But the ranch isn't big enough. Her eyes find him out on horseback, with the herd, fixing fences. With J.D., and on his ranch, Rachel is sure she's found her piece of heaven—but how can she convince J.D.? Men of the West

本作の真髄は、対極にある二つの魂が静寂を通じて共鳴する過程にあります。華麗なモデル界で心身を削り、虚飾に生きてきたレイチェルにとって、テキサスの峻烈な自然とJ.D.の無骨な優しさは、魂の救済そのものです。クリステンベリーはカウボーイの美学を、孤独と誇りが同居する重厚な生き様として描き、読者の心を荒野へと誘います。 広大な牧場で繰り広げられる心理戦は、言葉以上に視線や動作で語られる文学的興趣に満ちています。拒絶と切望の狭間で揺れるJ.D.の沈黙は、真の帰るべき場所とはどこかを問いかけます。荒野に吹く風のような、厳しくも温かい至高の愛の形を、ぜひその肌で感じ取ってください。
