Drifter's Darling — Merry Farmer

They met at the Culpepper rodeo, and sparks flew… Veterinarian Elvie O'Donnell was done with men after breaking up with her self-absorbed, lawyer fiancé, Andy, but that's when ruggedly handsome drifter Evan Lipinski walked into her life. But one sizzling day at the rodeo was all they had before Evan disappeared from Culpepper, but not from Elvie's thoughts… Try as he might, Evan can't forget the vibrant and adventurous Elvie. In spite of the world of problems he's running away from, he returns to Culpepper to see if they can turn the sparks from the rodeo into something more. Elvie seems more than happy to pick up where they left off… …until the lawyer who has been chasing him, intent on destroying his life as he knows it, shows up in Culpepper. He happens to be Elvie's fiancé, and wants her back. Can Evan escape the fate that awaits him, or is he running from his problems into temptation?
