The Last Laugh — Michel Prince

In Tender Root, Montgomery Long seemed singularly focused on fun. The middle child, he only had one real duty, taking care of his younger sister Melody. But he'd failed and as the months tick on without her attacker behind bars, he's itching to exact revenge on the man who almost took his baby sister's life. Harper Maxwell's year had gone from bad to worse. With an ex husband looming around making her life miserable, the chance to get away to Mexico for a case made sense. As the attorney assigned to the Long case, she was set to serve extradition paperwork and hopefully, catch a few rays at the beach before heading back home. If only that could have happened…With threats on Harper's life, can she find safety or even love in the arms of a man who never commits and worse yet, may only be a rebound? Or, will she become the next tragedy that could destroy the Long Ranch?
