Evaleen Murphy never sought to inherit the ranch named Rainbow's End. All she'd wanted after her sister's death was to care for her niece. But custody of young Theodora had been granted to Jesse Stockton, the wickedly handsome cowboy who was supposed to teach Evaleen how to run her new ranch. With his reputation as a womaniser, Evaleen knew that Jesse was trouble with a capital T. And yet something inside her made her weak to his sweet-talking ways.
Jesse's father had finally gotten the last laugh. Instead of Rainbow's End, the old coot had bequeathed him a young stepsister he'd never even met and an ornery spinster with a body that could tempt a saint. He'd like to teach his unwilling student more than just the skills of running a ranch. If he had his way, he'd soften Miss Murphy's prim mouth with tender kisses and give her a lesson in desire she wouldn't soon forget!
