Retrieve Jensen was desperate. He was working himself into the ground seven days a week to try to save his family�s legacy � their cattle ranch in Montana. But one day he wondered who the heck he was doing all this backbreaking labor for, when he didn�t have a child and there wasn�t a prospect for marriage in sight. He wasn�t looking for true love � didn�t believe in it anyway. He wanted more of a partner � someone who could at least ride if not rope, who wanted children, and who knew how to cook and clean.

When Jayne Clarkson�s friend laid the classified ad on her desk, while making a sarcastic comment about the intelligence of its writer, instead of being repelled, Jayne found herself intrigued by someone who would call himself a �no nonsense� man.

While her horrified friends watched what they were sure was going to be a train wreck, Jayne contacted Trieve and ended up spending a month with him in Montana.

Sparks flew between the two of them immediately, and although they were dynamite in bed � and he had proven to be even more �no nonsense� than she thought she could handle and he�d given her more than her first spanking over those four fantastic weeks � they both knew that she wasn�t really what he was looking for.

Or was she?
