OH THOSE BLACKHAWKS!

This whole series is great reading. Jacob Carver is a tough, macho private eye who is frustrated at every turn by Clair Beauchamps (who is really a Blackhawk sibling who was separated from her brothers after a car accident which killed their parents.) She gets under his defenses without really trying and his favorite word is "Dammit!" I just loved watching him fall!

A very sexy road trip

Charleston socialite Clair Beauchamp is days away from marrying lifelong family friend Oliver Hollingsworth. Clair is not really wild about marrying Oliver but it?s what?s expected of her and Clair always tries to do what is expected of her. Jacob Carver is a private detective who has been trying to get Clair by herself so he can tell her a secret from her past. Jacob finally gets the opportunity to tell Clair that she is really Elizabeth Blackhawk. As a small child, her entire family was in an auto accident. The newspaper listed the entire family as being killed but in reality, the children survived. An unscrupulous lawyer sold Elizabeth to the Beauchamps who were desperate for a child. At first, Clair doesn?t believe Jacob?s story but when she confronts her parents, they tell her the truth. Clair is still going to go through with the wedding until Jacob shows up at the church. One look at Jacob and Clair knows what she has to do; after all, she really doesn?t love Oliver. Clair tells Jacob she will travel to Wolf River, Texas to meet her real family only if he?ll drive her and she gets to do all the things her restrictive parents never let her do growing up, like having pizza. Jacob and Clair set off on quite a road trip, stopping at every interesting small town along they way. It?s not long before the attraction between the hunky detective and sexy debutante grows out of hand.
