Cassandra — Gloria Dale Skinner

Bad weather and marauding rustlers nearly wiped out Cassandra Rakefield as a rancher. She can't pay her cowboys or her mortgage unless she gets her inheritance, controlled by a law firm in Kansas City until she turns twenty-five. She needs the money. She doesn't need Dustin Bennett, the handsome attorney who jilted her five years before and walked away. Now he's riding back onto her land as the firm's representative to decide her ranch's fate. Cassandra is a woman full-grown, courted by another man, and filled with fire and ice as she faces Dustin again. She doesn't trust him--yet she loves him. And he wants her. Only this time, Cassandra vows, she'll get what she wants, and he'll get what he deserves....

Hero: Dustin Bennett
Heroine: Cassandra Rakefield
