Efrem — Mallory Hall

Efrem Mantz knows computers and surfing. Lisa Alayne knows brood mares and ranching. Lisa purchases a new computer with a breeders' software program that defeats her. She meets Efrem in the company's help chat room. Intrigued with each other, Efrem agrees to come to her ranch and help with the new computer. Little does he know he'll end up helping Lisa keep her ranch...and him. Lisa's inheritance-the ranch-is almost hers. When she turns 30 in a couple of weeks, she can finally take ownership. The ranch's foreman, however, has a plan in place to get control of at least half of the ranch. Lisa fell in with the plan by falling for the foreman's nephew, but she learns fast not to trust a man too good looking to be real. Still, as good looking as Efrem is, she trusts him with her heart and her ranch.
