Reckless Angel — Elizabeth Awbrey

Katherine Bennett was returning to her Texas home an elegant young woman, after spending three years at an eastern boarding school. Yet her thoughts as she stepped off the train were anything but ladylike. For she was prepared to wrest control of Three Creeks Ranch from its new foreman, Jason Cain.

Jason was a man of mystery. No one knew where the handsome cowboy came from, only that he was fast with his fists and faster with a gun. Dark and dangerously attractive, he treated Katherine with a teasing indifference that set her blood to boiling and only strengthened her resolve to expose his past and get him off her father's ranch, permanently.

Yet Katherine should never have tangled with this hardheaded cowboy. He'd use any weapon, even the force of her own blossoming desire to tame her. With velvet kisses this scoundrel set her passions aflame and won her tender heart.
