The Tent People — Marilyn Storie

Romance has no part to play in Sandi Pearson's summer plans. She's too busy priming herself for success in the Canadian bush. It's a rough-and-tough man's world, but Sandi is armed with a forestry degree, the right equipment, and a great camp cook. She's well on her way to earning enough money as a tree-planting contractor to take her dream vacation in Mexico. Then she'll be able to relax for once and be the woman she's always wanted to be. Tree planting is hard work, but the practical redhead knows her crew is a good one. Hot-tempered Sandi has no intention of allowing a good-looking jokester like Bruce Connelly to bamboozle her out of the season's most lucrative contract either. She's lost out to Bruce in the past at school, but that won't be happening this time. This time, Sandi intends to come out on top. Join Sandi and her ragtag crew as they race to win the bet she was rash enough to make with Bruce. Not wildlife, a raging forest fire, or getting down to dirty tricks to ensure she wins are enough to deter Sandi. Now, if she can only keep that fickle heart of hers from slowing things down . . . .
