Desert Song

"CHANCE?" HER MIND ECHOED, "WHAT KIND OF A NAME IS THAT?"

But the dynamic Chance Bradshaw was truly like no one Marlis Halden had ever known before -- rugged, hostile and just as fascinating as the California desert itself. And, if the handsome mayor of Bajada Grande could have his way, Marlis and her ailing father would be forced to close down their campground at Smoketree Wells, losing their savings of a lifetime. But Marlis refused to let the desert she despised, or the insufferable Chance Bradshaw defeat her. Fighting them both, Marlis soon discovered that she could no more close her heart to the enthralling desert song, than she could to the captivating power of Chance Bradshaw.

Hero: Chance Bradshaw
