The Cowboy Plan — Denise Belinda McDonald

Big girls don't cry over a spilled chocolate milkshake -- they run like crazy.

Alex Barrett's all too “real life” sentence is almost over. She's spent years being a parent to her siblings -- and her flaky mother. What was her reward, other than an empty bed? Nothing. And now that she's almost free, nothing's exactly what she plans to do. Except have fun.

One minute she's one of thousands of panting female fans at hotter-than-hot Drew Hartford's concert. The next, she's all wet -- and so is he. Okay, so it's only because she dumped a milkshake all over him.

Drew's meteoric rise to the top of the country charts is fueled by the swooning women who throw themselves at his feet. Alex? She's different. When their icy paths cross, she doesn't throw her panties, she beats a hasty retreat. There's only one way to keep this intriguing lady around long enough to charm her out of those panties: offer her a job she can't refuse.

Drew may be every female's definition of a fantasy man, but a paycheck and a roll in the hay do not a relationship make. Besides, Alex is tired of living 24/7 for someone else. Even a someone who's offering her dreams of happily ever after…

Warning: Hot and heavy loving; stuff country songs are made of.
