Publisher's Synopsis
Meagan Morris has lost everything. Her family is dead, and all that remains of them, all that was endowed to her, has been stolen.Desperate to retrieve her legacy, Meagan disguises herself and attempts to rob King of her grandmother's pearls at gunpoint. When Officer Dell arrives at the scene, King doesn't turn Meagan in, but rather drops her jewels in a bag and gives it to her. As Meagan searches pawnshops and the Internet to recover her lost heirlooms, King now not only fears for his life, but is deeply concerned that his father, Jack, or brother, Ace, may soon find themselves looking down the barrel of a gun. All the while, King must contend with the demands of Gayla, who unabashedly wants King for her own and who has lied to him about the parentage of her child. Guilt-ridden, King must work day and night to satisfy Gayla's demands for money and sex until the truth sets him free. Set among the cattle ranches of America's Southeast, What Matters Most delivers steady suspense and savory romance as Meagan and King's worlds collide!
