“I won’t let you steal my ranch.”
But will this rancher steal her heart?
Laura Lee is devastated when Jesse Creed arrives claiming that her new, perfect house doesn’t belong to her absent fiancé, but to him! Until he can prove it, however, Laura isn’t going anywhere. But living side by side with the alluring rancher is temptation itself. And suddenly this house starts to feel an awful lot like the home she’s always longed for...
“This book is well-written, well-populated and full of action.”
—RT Book Reviews on The Rancher’s Inconvenient Bride
“Readers will be charmed by the spirited heroine and her love-struck cowboy [...] wonderfully written.”
—RT Book Reviews on The Cowboy’s Cinderella
CAROL ARENS delights in tossing fictional characters into hot water, watching them steam and then giving them a happily-ever-after. When she’s not writing she enjoys spending time with her family, beach-camping or lounging about a mountain cabin. At home, she enjoys playing with her grandchildren and gardening. During rare spare moments, you will find her snuggled up with a good book. Carol enjoys hearing from readers at [email protected] or on Facebook.
