Sheik's Promise — Carole Howey

A RUN FOR THE ROSES

Allyn Cameron had never been accused of being a Southern belle. Whether running her own saloon or competing in the Rapid City Steeplechase, the brazen beauty knew the thrill of victory and banked on winning. No man would take anything she possessed -- not her business, not her horse, and especially not her virtue -- without the fight of his life.

An expert on horseflesh and women, Josh Manners desired only the best in both. Sent to buy Allyn's one-of-a-kind colt, he made it his mission to tame the thoroughbred's owner. But his efforts to win Allyn for his personal stable failed miserably when she roped, corralled, and, branded him with her scorching passion.
