Out of Control

by Mary Connealy

2011

Rafe Kincaid is haunted by a childhood cave disaster and determined to keep everyone away from the caverns on his Colorado ranch. Adventurous Julia Gilliland slips inside anyway to pursue fossils, triggering rockfalls, buried secrets, and a romance forged in absolute darkness and danger.

Series background & context

The Kincaid Brides series moves into the high country of Colorado, where three brothers carry scars from a catastrophic cave fire and the Civil War. Each book pairs one Kincaid brother with a heroine who forces him to face both past trauma and present danger.

In Out of Control, rancher Rafe Kincaid is obsessed with the cavern system that nearly killed him as a boy. He’s sworn to keep everyone away, so he’s furious—and intrigued—when he finds Julia Gilliland trapped in one of the caverns she’s been secretly exploring. Their attempt to map the caves and uncover old secrets pulls them into a mystery with very human villains.

In Too Deep focuses on Ethan Kincaid, who agrees to a hasty marriage of convenience to protect a young widow and her toddler. He’s more comfortable underground than talking about feelings, but his new wife needs more than a name and a roof; she needs a partner as her late husband’s mistakes circle back.

In Over the Edge, wild younger brother Seth Kincaid returns from the war suffering from memory gaps and a restless spirit. He’s shocked to discover he apparently married Callie back when his mind was half gone—and she’s furious that he doesn’t remember her. Their sharp-edged reunion unfolds amid land disputes, ambushes, and questions about sanity and loyalty.

The Kincaid Brides books are classic Connealy: fast-paced, funny, and full of extended-family banter, but also willing to talk about trauma, marriage, and the slow work of building trust again after life has literally blown up around you.
