Sandra Chastain unravels the story of an unconventional beauty who refuses to back down from a challengeor a handsome loner with a taste for trouble. Dallas Burke has come to Willow Creak, Wyoming, to find her brother's killer, and she has no intention of being scared offnot by roughnecks trashing her newspaper office, nor by the ruggedly handsome rancher who warns her of more violence. And he has indeed given Dallas something to think aboutnamely, what it would be like to take a roll in the hay with this strapping, sun-bronzed cowboy. The way Jake Silver sees it, the last thing Willow Creek needs is a muckraking journalist inflaming both sides of a deadly range war. What he doesn't know is that Dallas has her own plan to end the fighting: enlisting the townswomen to seduce their husbands and sweethearts into laying down their guns. But it is Jake's own reaction to the lovely Dallas that surprises him most of all, leaving him aching with desireand willing to risk everything to accept her irresistible proposal. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Mistletoe and Magic, Claimed, and After the Kiss.
