When
a McKinney brother falls in love, powerful emotion and overwhelming
desire are never far behind.
Two
hearts locked away . . . Hannah Walker spends her days coaching
children through injury and trauma, one therapeutic horseback ride at
a time. She knows all too well how violence can change a child and
leave scars that never heal. It’s easy for her to relate to the
kids; what isn’t easy is the thought of facing her own harrowing
past.
Millionaire
playboy Stephen McKinney could use a little coaching himself. Five
years ago he encountered his most horrible nightmare—and the
nightmare won. No matter what he achieves, nothing can make up for
that awful night . . . or so he believes.
Both
desperate for a second chance . . . Stephen is used to getting what
he wants. And he wants Hannah. So when she turns him down, he’s
intrigued. What he doesn’t know is that her secrets will lead him
to a place he never wanted to go again . . . to a side of himself
he’s tried to forget . . . a side that would scare Hannah away from
ever loving him. Now his only chance to win her trust is to bare his
soul, risking everything he tried so hard to protect.

This
next installment in the McKinney Brothers series is both
heart-wrenching and heartwarming.
After
his fiancée is brutally murdered, Stephen
McKinney exiles himself from his parents and brothers and throws all
of his time into building up his company. Being around those closest
to him only reminds him of the nightmare and his loss. Not believing
he'll ever find love again, he's become a sports car driving playboy
to match his CEO status. So, when he sees a shy, beautiful
golden-haired woman whilst grocery shopping, he seizes
the moment and asks her out. He's a millionaire used to getting is
own way with women. So getting turned down not only surprises him,
but makes him more intrigued to get to know
Hannah.
Hannah
Walker doesn't normally cry whilst grocery shopping, but this wasn't
an ordinary day. Consumed with grief, Hannah never expected a tall,
dark and incredibly handsome man to talk to her, least of all to ask
her out on a date. Her knee jerk reaction is to say “no”,
however, maybe this was an opportunity to spend a little time away
from her over-protective brothers?
Claudia
Connor has written a beautiful love story about two emotionally
damaged people finding true love. Both Stephen and Hannah's pasts
are tragic so it is all the more amazing that they have
achieved as much as they have before they meet. They are truly meant
to be together and have to work hard to overcome their personal
inhibitions that have held them back in order to lay foundations to
build a future together. Their mutual families also have an
important role to play and I admire that they offer so much love and
support to both of them. The overwhelming emotion in Worth The Risk
is hope, as a reader you will have your heart strings tugged, not
only for the protagonists, but for those close to them that have
sacrificed so much too.
If you have read Worth The Wait, you'll love how life for
Mike, Abby and their brood is getting along in the two year
time-line since their love story was told. We also get an
introduction to other members of the McKinney family too.
Claudia
Connor is now very much part of my small list of go-to authors. I'm
looking forward to catching up with the remaining McKinney brothers
in future books and also hope that eventually we'll we get to know
more about the Walker brothers as well.
