Anne Smith's death had been sudden and unexpected. She and Robert Smith had been married 38 years, and to all their friends the couple had seemed forever inseparable. To console Robert (and themselves), several of his longtime friends decided to take this still young-at-heart widower off to St. Tropez, to soothe his grief in the warm French sun. When Robert arrives at the villa with a nimble, long-legged aspiring actress, his buddies begin to wonder if it's time that they shed their mournful inhibitions too.
When Robert Smith's wife dies, some longtime friends decide to spirit him away for a little vacation. They just didn't expect the villa they rented to be such a dump and that Robert would arrive with a gorgeous young film star in tow.
Molly Wells is keeping a lot of secrets. Such as why she's stolen her ex-husband's expensive stallion, Sonora Sunset, and driven him hundreds of miles across Oregon to rancher Jake Coulter, a known horse whisperer. And why she arrives with no job, no money, and a fear of her ex-husband that still threatens to rule her life. Molly is willing to risk everything to save Sonora Sunset, little realizing that she needs to save herself as well...or that Jake is the one man whose every heartfelt whisper has the power to meet her secret needs....
Molly Wells is out of work, on the run, and almost broke -- but that won't stop her from doing what's right, even when that means stealing Sonora Sunset, the valuable racehorse her ex-husband is about to destroy. Fortunately, Jake Coulter, the horse whisperer Molly brought Sunset to after brutal beatings made him wild and dangerous, also believes that right and wrong are more important than the bottom line -- or the letter of the law.
