Pickett's Fence — Linda Shertzer

Their tug-of-war hid a strong attraction...

RACHEL
Only one thing could keep her milk cows from her neighbor's ornery bull -- a good, sturdy fence..

TOM
He'd come to like his pretty, sassy neighbor -- even though they couldn't speak without arguing over every little thing!

She was a hardworking widow, raising a son and tending her Kansas farm on her own. If only that stubborn Tom Pickett would put up a fence as she'd asked -- and keep it up. But while they argued over property liens and boundaries, the fence went up and down and back up again ... until Rachel saved Tom's life, and cared for him in a time of need. Maybe the walls that separated them were coming down at last -- and making room for love...

Hero: Tom Pickett
Heroine: Rachel Williams
