WRANGLIN’ WITH THE RANCHER?

Cassidy McCullough can’t remember a time when rancher Will Laredo wasn’t a huge (albeit handsome) pain in her backside. In this small Texan town, their bickering is almost legendary. When they rescue a baby during a flash flood, however, Will and Cassidy suddenly find themselves temporary guardians of a child…together.

Will has a hard time holstering his temper around Cassidy. Now they’re both responsible for a lost baby, and darned if they can’t stop arguing. The only way to make it through is to declare a cease-fire. And Lord help them both if that happens…because then Will might just discover he’s falling for his enemy.

“Stop being so agreeable… That’s not like you.”

That damn sexy smile of Will’s was back.

“Maybe it is,” he contradicted.

She didn’t like these new rules. “You’re just messing with my mind,” Cassidy accused.

Will inclined his head. “If you say so.”

She clenched her hands in her lap, curling her fingernails into her palms. She was doing what she could in order to ground herself.

His smile told her that he was enjoying this, enjoying getting under her skin, getting in the last word, because, she reminded herself, that was the way Will Laredo was built. You can’t change the spots on a leopard, she insisted. Even a leopard with a very sexy smile.

Especially a leopard with a very sexy smile.
