The Cowboy Rides Away

Middle-child Meg Marvell has spent her life brokering peace and bending to avoid conflict. She lives cautiously, rarely takes risks, steps back when confronted. And she is damned tired of it. It's time to tackle life on her own terms. Break free. And what better way than to answer Jason Mann's challenge? He doesn't believe she'll travel to her cousin's ranch to discuss why he disappeared from her life, so she does him one better and hires on. She didn't want him back—she wants to prove that she can rise to a challenge. Unfortunately, the attraction they once shared has not withered and died as she'd once thought...if anything it's stronger than ever.
