Workin up a hot, sticky sweat is pure pleasure with a hard-ridin cowboy.... Widowed, struggling stock contractor Gemma Jansen swallows her pride and tracks down former bull rider Cash Big Crow to offer him a job managing her ranch. Cash agrees on one condition it wont be a strictly working relationship. Shes the boss during the day, but once shes corralled in the bedroom, Cash calls the shots. Meanwhile, Carter McKay is spending his summer at the Bar 9 Ranch preparing for an art show. But hes definitely not prepared for the immediate visceral connection he feels to Cashs sexy and sassy daughter Macie Honeycutt. Lust flares between them and Macie proves shes up for any dirty fun and games that sweet and wild Carter dreams up. Gemma struggles with her feelings for Cash-except this time, Cash has grabbed the bull by the horns.
