This Marine follows the rules. This cowgirl is all about breaking them.

After  losing his best friend and CO, Matt, in combat, Brodie Bell didn’t  think his spirits could sink any lower. He was wrong. One look at his  and Matt’s storm-flattened hometown nearly levels him. Los Vista needs a  leader, and as Brodie takes the weight of the world on his shoulders,  he comes up with a plan. Merge the two ranches left standing, pray for a  good calving season…and keep his hands too busy to get busy with Matt’s  sexy little sister.

Danica was in pigtails when Brodie and Matt  went off chasing glory. Now she’s a woman with a broken heart, but if  Matt knew of the depraved cravings Brodie ignites in her body, he’d  haunt her from the grave.

As they work to mend miles of broken  fences, Brodie fights to ignore Danica’s tiny cutoff shorts and  mile-long legs—and to ignore the “weapon” that’s locked and loaded in  his Levis. Because the last thing he wants is to dishonor his friend’s  memory by ravishing the sweetest little cowgirl he’s ever laid eyes on.

Warning:  Involves a sweet and sassy ranch girl who knows her way around a rope,  and a Marine turned cowboy who’d like to tie her down and spank her  until she begs for more.
