Born to Be Wild — Kris Cassidy

TRAVELING MAN

They called her the Wild Woman. As guardian of a menagerie of wild animals, veterinarian Jenny Grant was proud of her reputation. It had started years ago when the local parks commissioner had brought a wounded armadillo to her ranch in Rockport, Texas. Since then, Jenny's ranch had grown to accommodate everything from bobcats to miniature horses.

The day that marine biologist Garrett Reid first met her, she was knee-deep in the surf, caring for a beached dolphin. Garrett was intrigued by the stubborn beauty who could soothe the wildest beast. Although his research project on the Texas gulf coast would last only a few weeks, he planned to spend every spare minute with Jenny.

Garrett had always been a wanderer. In less than a month, his sailboat would be motoring out of the harbor and heading southeast. Until then, there was only the sultry heat of a South Texas summer... and the sensual rhythm of two hearts beating as one. If Jenny wasn't careful, she could end up falling in love with this golden-haired man. And she knew better than to lose her heart to a man who was born to be wild.
