What starts with a bet, turns into a game neither of them want to lose…

Kate has a reputation for her temper. Since her pa’s murder, she’s been a whip-wielding hellcat determined to prove she can run a ranch just as well as any man. Then her little sister went and hired a foreman who makes Kate tingle in places she shouldn’t be, not if she wants to keep up a tough façade. When Jake takes liberties by kissing her, its more than either of them could have bargained for.

Jake isn’t just at the ranch to help run the place. He made a bet that he could tame Kate, a gamble that will give him the money he needs for his own piece of land. But he never expected Kate to be so ornery—or taste so sweet.

With both their futures on the line, can they afford to give in to their hearts? **
