Gambler's Daughter — Laura DeVries

Forfeiting half of her Montana ranch when her brother loses a gambling bet, Kathleen McBride becomes the reluctant partner of Chance Ballinger, who falls in love with Kathleen and invites her to take the ultimate challenge.

It wasn't enough that he'd invaded her home. Now he'd invaded her dreams. She was an angel with a shotgun, taking aim at the tall, dark stranger who rode up to her ranch, strode into her home, and declared himself half owner of her spread. Her brother had gambled away his half of their prime Montana ranch, and now she had a new partner, simple as that. But to Kathleen McBride, nothing would ever be simple again. Chance Ballinger was a gambler, a man with a past who was determined to be part of her future. Her partner. A man she could neither trust nor resist.
