Risking it for the Cowboy

He's spent years polishing his bad boy reputation….

Thaddeus (T.R.) McClintock is the black sheep of his large ranching family, and he can swing a hammer and play guitar like he's caressing a lover. He's the epitome of a playboy, yet when he pulls Charlize Bradford up on stage one night to sing, the gorgeous, brainy wallflower rocks his world. T.R.'s life in the fast lane screams to a halt. But the single mom is wary for good reason, and for the first time T. R.'s determined to make a good impression.

The last thing dethroned pageant queen, Charlie, needs is a cowboy mechanic who's the infamous frontman in a band. His megawatt grin coupled with his kindness and admiration tempts the paleontology professor, who studies extinct daisies, to contemplate a fling. Then T.R. shows hidden depths, and bonds with her daughter, and Charlie knows she's in trouble.

T.R. never imagined falling in love, and Charlie vowed to never again give a man a chance. But she has a secret and stepping into the spotlight could be dangerous.
