Tender Heart Texas Novella #3 Can This Hellion Resist Hot Summer Love? Becky Arrington isn't a daydreaming country girl just waiting for a handsome cowboy to come rescue her. She's a strong, determined woman who can run a ranch as well as any man. To prove it, she needs a ranch all her own, and she has the perfect place in mind. But when her ideal ranch is sold to a mule-headed lawyer, Becky sees her dreams crumbling and she'll be forced to do some major kissing-up to get Mason Granger to sell. Unfortunately, kissing Mason can addle a woman's brain and make her lose track of what she really wants. A ranch. Or love. And who says she can't have both? Divorce attorney Mason Granger learns early on that marriage is the fastest way to hell. Growing up with a mother who exchanged husbands like shoes, he has more than a few hang ups about women and spends his days punishing them in the courtroom . . . and his nights punishing them in the bedroom. But when a sassy spitfire sets her sights on the ranch he just purchased, he's suddenly the one being punished. He can't go anywhere without Becky Arrington showing up to annoy the hell out of him . . . and tempt him beyond his limits. And when he finally gives into temptation, he'll discover that beneath the feisty, controlling cowgirl is a loyal, loving woman who will heal his soul and lasso his heart forever.
