The Dalton boys take the reins . . . The infamous Dalton Gang was once known for riding and playing hard. Now, as owners of the Dalton Ranch in Crow Hill, Texas, they're working from sunup to sundown. But one look from the right woman can tempt them back into the saddle . . . When a walk on the wild side turned into a nightmare for Everly Grant, she escaped her abusive ex by taking a job with Crow Hill's small newspaper. Now she's assigned to write a human interest story on the return of the Dalton Gang, and she soon discovers that Boone Mitchell could give her plenty more than a good interview. As much as she craves safety, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Boone's dangerous streak. Before she takes the cowboy to bed, she lays down the law- There are no strings attached, and she's the one in charge. That's fine for Boone. In fact, Everly teaches him things no other woman ever dared. Soon they find themselves wanting more than their simple arrangement will allow. But to get there, Everly will have to open up in ways she thought she never could . . . Praise for the novels of Alison Kent 'Alison Ken delivers up sizzles and thrills.'
