Men are seriously on her bad list. Her best friend invites her to Kansas so she can work for her older brother on his ranch. If Tanya didn't need the job so badly, she'd refuse. The man gives all new meaning to the word hot. She doesn't need that kind of temptation after what she's gone through. And he doesn't want her there, even if he does need a good accountant. Plus he tells her that he has a lot of rules and time schedules, and that she will be expected to follow them or face consequences. Drew Weatherford is worn out from the stress of running a ranch, an animal rescue foundation, and trying to keep up with the books.  Then his sister shows up with her friend and informs him Tanya is the answer to his bookkeeping problems. Maybe so, but she's more temptation than he wants. She's the exact opposite of his two ex-wives and so not his type of woman. Really. Not his type. A month. He'll give her a month.Larkin's Cowboy by Kira Barcelo When Larkin Gregory arrives at her sister's house in the (very) small town of Santo Pueblo Texas, her intention is to take a Thanksgiving vacation break from her life in New York and then return to the city to patch things up with her boyfriend Eric.
