After growing up around Hunter McCloud, cowgirl Elsie Garrett considers herself immune to his particular brand of cowboy. Her brother's best friend is too big, too broad, too everything for comfort. But when relationship - shy Elsie decides it's finally time for her to get some romantic experience, Hunter suddenly might be useful after all. Maybe he, with his many casual hookups, is the perfect cowboy to teach her how to flirt? Elsie is the best horse wrangler around, but Hunter can see she doesn't know anything about men - orphaned as a child and brought up by her brothers, she's so wild she's practically feral. But Hunter has always looked out for her, and he's not about to stop now. Until Hunter realizes he's playing with fire. Elsie might not understand the chemistry slowly building between them, but he does, and it's burning stronger and hotter than anything he's ever experienced.
