Iris // A Defiant Man — Leigh Greenwood

A TARNISHED PAST: Rough and ready as any of the Randolph boys, Monty bristled under his eldest brother's tight rein. All he wanted to do was light out from Texas for a new beginning. But a spirited beauty was hot on his trail, bringing with her a blazing passion he couldn't deny and painful memories he couldn't forget.

A SHINING FUTURE: An orphan with nothing to her name except a herd of cattle, Iris Richmond had to get her livestock to Wyoming's open ranges before rustlers wiped her out. As luck would have it, Monty was heading that way, but the bullheaded wrangler flat out refused to help her. Never one to take no for an answer, Iris saddled up to coax, rope, and tame the ornery cowboy she'd always desired.
