Prickly Pear

The Story

Daddy's little girl was no angel. And she was bad news with a lariat. Heck, she hadn't earned the nickname Prickley Pear by being a wallflower. Everyone on the Circle C knew that Camile Cordell could rope her way out of Hell itself -- and most of the town thought the willful beauty would end up there sooner or later. Now, Cam knew that her father was looking for a new foreman for their ranch -- and the blond firebrand was pretty sure she knew where to find one.Wade Langtry had just arrived in Texas, but he seemed darn sure of himself in trying to take a job that was hers, Cam had to admit, though, that he had what it too to wrestle cows and break stallions. In her braver moments, she even imagined what it might feel like to have the roughrider break her to the saddle -- or she him. Still, the virile stranger was untamable, much as she herself was. And she feared that in the days to follow, it wouldn't much matter if she lost her father's ranch -- she'd already lost her heart.A beautiful and headstrong woman vies with a ruggedly handsome foreman for control of her father's ranch and ends up winning his heart.
