A Bid for Love — Carol Finch

Trying to hold the family ranch together and put her two daughters through college has left Elizabeth Smith Sutton plumb worn out...and flat broke. The feisty rancher's widow is going to have to sell -- lock stock and barrel -- and move to town.

But the appearance of city slicker auctioneer Wyatt McKenney puts a different spin on Elizabeth's plans. How can she concentrate on evaluating tractors and livestock with this gorgeous hunk of man looking over her shoulder? And when Wyatt swaps his shiny Cadillac for a horse -- and rides and ropes like a pro -- Elizabeth's heart does a long-forgotten double flip. Could it be that with Wyatt's help she can save the ranch -- and maybe have a fighting chance...to love again?

Hero: Wyatt McKenney
Heroine: Elizabeth Smith Sutton
