Tougher Than the Rest

by Jennifer Bennett

Overview

Jake McClendon thought he needed to leave the only home he'd ever known. Briar Fields thought she needed to save her family. Neither thought they needed each other.

Jake left the Double Ace Ranch with one thing in mind: to put as many miles between himself and his best friend's wife as possible. Ending up in the Deep South almost broke was not what he had in mind, but when he finds a job and a place to stay almost instantly he doesn't think it's such a bad idea. That is until he sees the one woman who makes him crazy: Briar Fields.

When a ghost from her past shows up right on her doorstep, Briar has no clue what to do to get rid of him even as she wants to be in his arms again. Her body craves him even though her mind tells her to do what's sensible. How is she supposed to take care of her family when he haunts her every thought?

Together, they may just burn each other down or create something that will last forever.

Jennifer Bennett (1977- ) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, to a native Cajun mother and West Virginian visiting construction worker father. The two ran off to get married after her mother proposed in a laundry mat. They later had five children over the span of a nearly forty-year marriage.

Being the middle child, Jennifer found an escape in writing at the ripe old age of seven. Her first co-written novel was in middle school which began a string of short stories and novellas while her family traveled from Louisiana to Savannah, Georgia; then Knob Noster, Missouri; Violet, Louisiana; Wiggins, Mississippi; Jacksonville, North Carolina; Lumberton, Mississippi; and finally settling in Petal, Mississippi, where she found her true passions: rodeos and equine sports.

With the assistance of her soon-to-be husband, Mark, she quickly learned about horses, riding and livestock. Spending more than a month in Arkansas and Oklahoma, she honed her skills and began working on her sister's ranch.

When not writing, Jennifer is a professional speaker and facilitator and mom. She lives with Mark and their son, Christopher. They share their home with a cat, a dog, and two rabbits. They also shared their land with several large yard cats, three horses, a donkey and half a dozen deer.
