Only a family crisis could bring Ross Fortune back home to Texas. But clearing his sister of a murder charge was the roving P.I.'s most important mission. Falling for the woman counseling his nephew was a complication he definitely didn't need. Though the sexy, off-limits Fortune was a challenge she couldn't resist, Julie Osterman couldn't afford to let her personal feelings cloud her professional judgment. But when an explosive secret threatened everyone's future, was she willing to put it all on the line for the chance to be at Ross's side...forever?
The saga of the Fortune family continues with Fortune's Woman. This time readers get to meet Ross Fortune. Ross was introduced earlier in the series. He is the private detective the family goes to to try to figure out the mystery behind who is setting fires and sending notes threatening the family. Now Ross has another problem to deal with. His no good brother-in-law, Lloyd is murdered and his sister, Frannie, has been arrested for the crime. With his father dead and his mother in jail, it is up to Ross to look after his teenage nephew, Josh. Ross enlists the help of Fortune Foundation counselor, Julie Osterman to help Josh with grief support. But who is going to help Ross with his feelings for Julie? Julie is a widow who has been brokenhearted enough to last her a lifetime. She's sure that it is time to move on with her life, but she just isn't sure that Ross is the right man to move on with. This is a nice romance story, but there is little that is seems to relate to the over all mystery of the series. Or is there? Readers who are following the series will just have to wait and see what secrets good old Lloyd might have taken to the grave with him.
