TWO HARDENED HEARTS

Nicki Chandler was a woman who didn't have time for frilly dresses or fancy dreams -- she was too busy fighting natural disasters and the threat of a range war on her Wyoming homestead. Then a handsome, rugged stranger with a mysterious past turned up one day, offering his labor in return for a place to stay. Reluctantly Nicki let him into her home, but little was she prepared for the searing passion that would beg for entrance into her heart.

Wounded by a past heartbreak, Levi Cantrell was determined to keep his distance and move on when the time was right. But the temptations Nicki offered ignited a longing in him he couldn't deny. Would she still want him if he revealed who he really was?
