Back of Beyond — Shirley Faye

SHINING STAR

From the top of his Stetson hat to the toes of his leather boots, Jesse Fortune was a superstar. Although Dani Alworth had heard countless stories about the country and western idol, she'd never imagined she would have the chance to perform with him. Then Jesse agreed to play a benefit for a sick child in Canada and Ia name was added to the ticket.

Having survived one mishap in the air, Dani had no desire to jump on a plane and fly off to the back of beyond. But how could she say no to the request of a sick little boy? Before she knew what was happening, Dani was boarding a plane with Jesse Fortune, the man with silver eyes that held the danger of a gathering storm. Dani couldn't deny the stirring Jesse evoked in her heart--but wasn't that the same magic spell he cast over millions of women?

After a devastating marriage, Jesse was not looking for love. He'd sworn off women for awhile--especially dark-haired, brown-eyed beauties like Dani. But something about her made him want to forget the past, the endless tours through dazzling cities, the rush of nameless fans. He longed to explore the innocence of her eyes, to lose himself in the warmth of her embrace. Only through sheer grit and willpower could Jesse restrain the urge to brand her for life, to make her his now and forever.
