A Tough Man's Woman

AN ANGRY PASSION

She is Cassie Dalton widow of a wealthy rancher. Young, beautiful, and on her own, she keeps her rifle handy in case of trouble -- and the rugged stranger riding tall in the saddle looks like big trouble. But just as she's ordering him off her land, the handsome devil introduces himself.

AN IRRESISTIBLE LOVE

He is Drew Dalton, wayward son of Cassie's dead husband, and he's come to claim his inheritance. He can't believe his father married this feisty young beauty, or that she has an infant son whom she insists is the rightful heir. But even her angry words fire the restless cowboy with lusty visions of blazing kisses and hot embraces...temptation beyond endurance. Cassie is not immune to the desire that flashes in his eyes, or to the comfort of his powerful presence. Yet even as they yearn for one another, they dare not share the secrets in their hearts -- until the threat of losing the ranch thrusts them into an alliance of trust, and a passionate surrender to a love too powerful to deny.
