Tempting the Rancher

Book excerpt: Texas rancher Nathaniel Meier always puts his responsibilities first. With his father dead, his brothers away, and his mother off "finding herself," it's Nat who runs her sprawling ranch. But with cattle to sell and he shakes his neck, he needs all the help he can. Free-spirited January always dreamed of traveling the world. The moment you turned eighteen, she left Close Call, Texas behind and barely looked back. So now that she's home, she'll stay on the road. But when she comes face-to-face with Nat Meier, she quickly realizes the boy she is left behind. Even for a nomad like January, wanderlust sometimes gets lonely, and Nat is the one person who's called to her, even after a decade apart. But for a man ruled by responsibility and a woman whose suitcase is home, the future is uncertain. And the closer they get, the more Nat worries he's going to get burned ... again.
