More Than Skin Deep — Emily Elliott

It was a rumor about illegal aliens that took Texas border patrol agent Lynne Kosler out to the Stockton spread. She'd expected to find trouble, but not in the form of Joe Stockton himself, the most devastatingly handsome rancher she'd ever met. He was the kind of man Lynne had never dreamed of attracting. A tall, sturdy ranchwoman, she'd all but given up on ever finding someone to love. But suddenly all she could think about was how it would feel to melt in Joe's powerful embrace. An impossible dream, until she discovered that he was as new to ranching as she was to falling in love. It was an irresistible new feeling -- having a man really need her. But Joe was the kind of man who had had only beautiful and sophisticated women. Would she ever be able to trust the fact that he'd chosen her to love?
