Painted Horse

HE WAS HER LAST HOPE
As the daughter of a wealthy shipping magnate, Grace Livingston is accustomed to getting what she wants--just by opening her purse strings. So when her beloved sister Elinor is kidnapped by Comanches, Grace immediately heads west to ransom her. But one obstacle stands in her way-- Matthew Stone, an arrogant, yet striking, man who follows no rules but his own.

SHE WAS HIS SALVATION
A rancher as wild and untamed as the mustangs he breaks, Matthew Stone is the only man who can help Grace. Amused and enticed by this brazen heiress with honey-colored hair and ivory-smooth skin, Matthew isn't about to let her tell him what to do. He agrees to help her--but under his conditions, which include learning how to ride a horse, shoot a rifle and sleep in his bed! Grace is appalled by Stone's shocking requests even though she finds herself strangely excited whenever his piercing eyes watch her. And while she surrenders to his passionate embraces and soul-tempting kisses, she is determined to discover what secrets this mysterious man holds before her heart becomes love's captive.
