Cooking Up Trouble — Emma Craig

Heather Mahaffey is a beauty, true, and clever, but her father has a tendency to run off at the mouth. And that could land a girl in a whole mess of problems -- especially when he is praising her to the wealthiest rancher around, telling him that she can out-cook anyone in the New Mexico Territory. The whole situation is mortifying, especially when Heather knows she has difficulty boiling water. Worse, the wealthiest man in the territory is also the best looking. Philippe St. Pierre has a face women would die for...and a body to match. But was it worth feigning ability just to earn money for her family...and maybe for a chance to be near Phillipe? And then there's the devilishly handsome man who offers to assist her -- one Mr. D.A. Bologh -- on the up and up, or does he have a purpose far more sinister? Either way, with one kiss from Philippe and faster than she can say Rumpelstiltskin, Heather was in the kitchen and cooking up trouble.
