The Discreet Cowboy — Rhonda Lee Carver

Welcome to Nirvana. Your wish is a cowboy's command...

An injury sends Dade Jarrett to the hospital and he's told he'll never walk again, but a cowboy never gives up. After a long, grueling recovery, he's walking again, with a limp and the assistance of a cane. He's ready to get back on the Nirvana Ranch, but first he has made a promise to help Chase, his boss. The last thing Dade wants to do is babysit a spoiled brat--a beautiful, spoiled brat who is well over the age of consent. She thinks she's clever when she steals his clothes and leaves him stranded, but he aims to show her a cowboy can't be fooled. If it's the last thing he does, it'll be to tame the spirited Felicia Sever.

Felicia has a 'thing' for cowboys, but she made a promise to her brother, Chase, that she'd keep her hands off the Nirvana cowboys and let them do their jobs.However, once she finds out he's asked one of the cowboys to be her keeper, she's pissed and ready to show over-protective Chase that she's more than capable of taking care of herself! Yet, can she...? Trouble is her middle name.

Stuck in a hotel room with Felicia, Dade knows his job and future are on the line, but can he resist the one woman he can't have?

Felicia wants one thing. Dade. He believes his limp and scars are a turn-off, but she knows one way to prove to him that he's a complete turn-on. After all, a secret affair never hurt anyone...or will it?
