About the book
Maybe it was the Montana air. Or the fact that her sister had just given birth to a precious baby boy. But from the moment she met Custer County's sheriff-elect, overpoweringly masculine Cody Franklin, responsible, city-bred Christy Manning took a tumble into breathless, brazen love. There were several hitches, however, in far-off Seattle... The instant he saw her, Cody was lost. Lovely, loving Christy burst the bonds on his hardened heart, touched him in ways no one ever had and dared him to dream again. Clearly he had to make the woman his wife, no matter what! The rules she lived by were itching to be broken, and he was just the ornery lawman to do it...
