Tucker Reeves was as tough and wild as the bucking bulls he'd ridden to three world championships. So having citified photographer Cassie Burch order him to pose like some "pretty boy" model planted a burr in his saddle...

and a strange sensation in his chest. Tucker was a true cowboy, and Trigger as his witness, he belonged to the Circle Lazy Seven–not on some picture-taking expedition with a tempting beauty. They had nothing in common–except a fiery attraction. Heck, Cassie probably thought a ranch was a type of salad dressing! Still, he couldn't resist a kiss–or two. Would this bachelor cowboy be lassoed by an uptown gal who didn't know a lariat–from a lover's knot?
