Perfect for fans of Linda Lael Miller and Diana Palmer. He’s the prodigal son ready to claim his legacy… He came home to sell his family’s failing ranch, but once twenty-year-old Bull Tyler sets foot on the Rimrock, he’s determined to tame the rugged land and make it his own. First he’ll have to take on the powerful Prescott clan, who’ll do anything to get their hands on the Tylers’ holding—even murder. Then Bull sets his eyes on the breathtaking woman earmarked to be Ferg Prescott’s bride. Now nothing will stop Bull from taking the land—or the lady who stirs his blood like no other—and building a dynasty worthy of both… She’s the pampered beauty he won’t let get away… She was born to privilege, and raised to do the right thing. But Susan Rutledge has never felt anything like the fire she feels for Bull Tyler. Yet, can she defy her father’s strong will and leave her secure life for a ramblin’ rodeo man? She’d have to be crazy—or crazy in love… PRAISE FOR JANET DAILEY AND HER NOVELS “Dailey does the genre proud with plenty of intrigue, subplots, twists, and of course, love.
