Mitch Smith is one happy rancher--at least, he is until a

lady RI. barges onto his property, bent on lassoing him into

a family he didn t know he had. Suddenly his success and

his independence vanish. It turns out that his business is built

on money from the McCoys--the family with the biggest retail

empire in the country--and now he s saddled with a million-

dollar debt.

Alison Sullivan is counting on the hefty fee she ll get once the

stubborn cowpoke is delivered to the wealthy Missouri clan.

Since she s practically down to her last dime, she ll do

whatever it takes to corral him. Coming from this fiery

green-eyed redhead with determination to spare, that s

no idle threat!
