"Can a Yankee spitfire make a sexy cowboy's fantasy come true?"

Harmon Steele is a cynical Texas rancher who doesn't believe in love. He finds himself at loose ends while waiting for a business deal to be completed. He is returning to his hotel room, when a young woman in a string bikini gets on the elevator. Maybe his day is looking up after all.

Jenna Hudson is visiting Texas to settle her great-aunt's estate. After a refreshing dip in the hotel pool, she gets on the elevator to return to her room and get ready for business. The hunky cowboy on the elevator catches her attention. However, she doesn't act on her attraction until the elevator gets stuck.

Imagine the surprise that both Harm and Jenna feel later that morning when they discover each other's identities. They hadn't got beyond a first name basis during their intensely sexual elevator encounter. Jenna decides to make Harm's fantasy of true love come true when unfortunate circumstances strand them alone again. Can she prove to Harm that true love is possible?

Harm and Jenna sizzle together! Although I felt that the relationship seemed a bit rushed (HARM'S HUNGER took place over a day or so), I do think that Harm and Jenna are devoted to each other. Harm is an intense male who knows how to bargain for what he wants. Give Patrice Michelle's debut a try and see what I mean!

Summary

In order to meet her Great-aunt Sally's will stipulation to 'handle the sale personally,' Jena Hudson visits Texas to finalize the sale of her aunt's ranch to her neighbor, Harm Steele. What Jena didn't expect was to fall for the rugged, sexy cowboy.

Harm might find Jena to be the most sensual creature he's ever met, but he won't let her sultry body be more than a satisfying distraction. He learned a long time ago that happily-ever-afters are best left for childhood fantasies.

So what's a girl to do when she finds out the man of her dreams doesn't believe in a happy ending? Well, given the right set of circumstances...she'll create one for him.
