AMY WAS FURIOUS! A horrendous idea, that's what it was! A new stepfather! Life on an out-of-the-way ranch! An unknown stepsister, probably a drip! Demeaning chores! And now this totally tiresome boy who did nothing but fight with her! As soon as possible she would dump the whole operation and go back to the city to live like a civilized person with her grandmother. But Derek had other plans, and Derek was a pretty stubborn guy. . . .He also happened to be tall, dark, and surprisingly persuasive - especially when he intended to lasso a pretty girl.
