Tucker Boone — Joan Elliott Pickart

Alison Murdock tried her best to remain proper and professional, but how could she describe her unusual inheritance to the most handsome and exciting man she'd ever seen? Tucker Boone was rugged, tanned, with sky blue eyes any Texas cowboy would be proud to call his own, and then there were those kissable lips . ... Allison felt her composure slip, her temperature rise and her heart pound-she was supposed to deliver an English butler to this wanderer but how could a "gentleman's gentleman" fit into Tucker's life? Tucker swore he was no gentleman, and then did his best to prove it, stunning the lady lawyer with kisses that made her forget work and long to play. Alison had spent years reaching for the top-why did being with Tucker satisfy her so? And now Tucker waned roots, a future with this beautiful, complicated woman, but he needed a plan... and the help of his knowing butter to pull it off. Could he make Alison see she couldn't settle for less than love?
