The Outsider

There are two things Bix Carpenter is good at: making moonshine and surviving. However, now that she's officially out of the family bootlegging business, those "getting by" skills are going to come in handy. But getting caught camping on Four Corners Ranch property isn't the best way to kick off her newfound independence -- especially when the man who catches her, unruffled ranch owner Daughtry King, makes an intriguing proposition.

Daughtry offers Bix a job in exchange for room and board. The straitlaced cowboy doesn't seem like the type who'd take to her feisty ways, but Bix reluctantly accepts. Daughtry is the best man Bix has ever met, and she's never felt good enough, but she finds herself falling for the stoic cowboy. Can she get past his defenses so the two of them can go from just surviving to thriving?
