New York Times bestselling author Joan Johnston tells the passionate
tale of a prickly woman, a small Wyoming town, and the irresistible
stranger who sets out to seduce them both.
Spinster schoolteacher Eden Devlin is desperate when she convinces
rancher and nester wives to withhold sex from their husbands until they
agree to end a devastating range war. But frustrated husbands resort to
their own desperate measures--and hire gunslinger Burke Kerrigan to
seduce Miss Devlin, " 'cause if she knew what she was missin', she'd
tell our wives to let us back in the bedroom!"
With battle lines drawn between husband and wife, Burke Kerrigan has his
work cut out for him. Time is of the essence as he sets out to seduce
Miss Devlin. But Kerrigan quickly learns that it's not easy to hoodwink
an educated woman, and the battle of sharp wits and even sharper
passions that ensues results in an all-or-nothing love that takes both
spinster and gunslinger by surprise.
