Billionaire Matt Walker was not a man who walked away from what he wanted. And what he wanted was the hand of Lady Helena Reichard. The darling of the paparazzi, Helena had recently been through hell and back -- emerging a changed and vulnerable woman. The tall, green-eyed Texan was experiencing an intense desire to protect her, to be her avenging angel, to make her his forever. But would his love be able to pierce the darkness of her wounded spirit and prevail?
Lone Star Knight (Texas Cattlemans Club: Lone Star Jewels #3) Reviews

I think...I read a previous book in this series recently. Also think I liked it about as well.
The h - a member of the nobility in some country made up for the series - is in a plane crash and after 2 months in the hospital (really? - she has a badly burned hand and a broken ankle), goes into hiding. Supposed to be at the ranch of the previous couple, but due to the press, she ends up with the H. She has an assortment of issue and self doubts due to her injuries and scarring. And...someone may be after her.
The H - bazillionaire cattle baron-cum-horse breeder - is part of a group of men who for reasons dabble in the politics of a foreign country or two smaller than one of their ranches. Also apparently act as body guards though I'm a bit hazy on their point and purpose really. He's also, when you think of it, either dumber than a box of hammers or a real ass. He decides to friendzone her even though he really wants to bone her. Then, after she has a meltdown on him for baiting her about her problems, he caves and bones her. Oh, but they're just friends. Uh Huh. And he has every intention of sending her away. After 3 weeks. Unless he had a case of rubbers delivered... I mean; there was a stack of them beside the bed for round one. And he's sure she loves him, or at least thinks she does. It never crosses his mind that she might construe all his attention as an act of pity. She's worrying about her scars and not being beautiful and how that seems to be the only thing she is, so he helpfully nails her a few dozen times. I guess the flip side wouldn't be much of an improvement - the feeling that he didn't want her - but... Yeah; I don't think he really thought that through.
And at the end, nothing is really resolved about the bad guys because there's another book (different author). But the H finally decides he wants her to stay so tells her to marry him. -
I liked Matt and admired Helena. I wanted more of an ending for them.

It was a quick, delightful read. I liked both Matt and Helena!
