Cowboy John Elder needs a replacement crew of cattle hands to
drive his longhorns to Kansas--he just never figured they'd be wearing
petticoats. Traveling with Moira O'Mara and the orphan girls in her care is a
mutually beneficial arrangement. Yet despite Moira's declaration of
independence, the feisty beauty evokes John's every masculine instinct to
protect, defend...marry? Moira is grateful for John's help when he rescues her--and she
can't deny that his calm, in-control manner proves comforting. But she is
determined not to let anything get in the way of her plans to search for her
long-lost brother at journey's end. However, can John show her a new future--one
perfect for them to share?
