She inherited half a ranch in Montana...
But her inheritance is his home!
Cowboy Gus Hawkins would wager his hat that Lillie Jean Hardaway is bad news—and as far as he’s concerned, he’s right. She just inherited half of the Montana ranch Gus has worked on for fifteen years. His home. Now Gus can’t decide what’s worse: that this pretty city slicker could destroy his dreams before returning to Texas...or that he’s falling head over spurs for her.
JEANNIE WATT lives in Montana’s Madison Valley on a seven-hundred-acre cattle ranch and hay farm, which she shares with her husband, her parents and many animals. Jeannie taught junior high school for about a hundred years and recently retired. When she’s not writing or feeding animals, she enjoys sewing, knitting, running, making mosaic mirrors and reading.
