"Amazing chemistry and sexual tension between heroine and hero."

Dean (short for Claudine) MacLeod has a problem. Make that a few problems. Cattle are disappearing from her ranch at a rapid pace with no clues left behind, and . . . oh yeah, she needs a man. So badly that she's fantasizing about some of her handsome ranch hands. But no one has interested her enough to ease the ache since Jake Reynolds. And when things started to get serious, he left town. Now, ten years after "running away", Jake is back. A special agent with Customs, he's transferred back to Douglas to be closer to his ailing mother -- and to "Dee". He knew he made a mistake when he left years ago. Now he has to convince Dee of that. And protect her from the dangers of who's stealing her cattle.

WOW! What a hot read! The chemistry and sexual tension between Dee and Jake is amazing, and very well written. Ms. McCray pulls the reader into this page turner, and never disappoints. I will never think of dessert in a restaurant the same way again!

NOTE: This is book 1 in a series, with WILDCAT and WILDCARD scheduled for release later in 2003.

Summary

Rancher Dee MacLeod needs a man in the worst way. Trouble is, since Jake Reynolds left her ten years ago, she can't find a man who scratches that itch like Jake did. She's hot and horny, but she hides her blazing passion beneath a cool, distant exterior. Her ranch hands call her "Ice Queen."

Ha. If they only knew...

Jake Reynolds, the one man who knows just how fiery Dee can be, thought he'd gotten the sexy redhead out of his system. But when he moves back to Arizona, he learns the truth...he's still in love with her. He's realized what an idiot he was to leave, and now Jake will stop at nothing to get Dee's hot body back in his bed. He intends to do whatever it takes to win her heart again, this time for keeps.
