Category Romance:
As his company’s cool business torpedo, big tough Dan Jones (44) is in Missouri’s Branson and on the make for new sites. In July, he’s hot and tired, stopping at a fairgrounds to pick up a ’55 hood ornament for his sons.
Instead, he meets petite fireball mechanic and activist, Rainey McDowell (35), who has said hood ornament and isn’t letting it go.
But fascinated with the woman now, Dan is set for a takeover. When Rainey discovers he’s set to be her boss in developing new gas-and-store sites, she finds that Dan won’t let her quit his team. And he won’t let her shift him off to another woman as she has her past suitors—this one’s tough and determined to possess Rainey, desiring her sensually and the softness she brings into his life.
Wounded by love, Rainey isn’t an easy project, despite the sparks flying between them. After all, she’s suspicious when he offers marriage within 2 days of meeting her. After all, that’s how Dan has forged getting what he wants—by plowing right through obstacles and taking what he wants.
With his 18-year old twin sons amused by his pursuit of the reluctant Rainey, Dan’s hot and frustrated.
When his company’s future site is set demolish a hill-woman’s legacy and log cabin, activist Rainey holes up in the cabin.
He’s definitely sexy and causing her temperature to rise, their lovemaking mind-blowing, but Dan isn’t her type; he’s all cold and big business, dismissing love in lieu of possession, and Rainey won’t settle for less than love.
Dan is used to getting what he wants, but this time Rainey isn’t making things easy...

He drove to a deserted lane and parked beneath spreading oak trees. “You said to take it somewhere else. How about here?”
“I am not—” Rainey slid toward the door, her hand on the handle.
Dan reached out, wrapped his hand about her neck, then stretched out on the seat and gently drew her on top of him. “Now let’s talk. No one but you and me, lady.”
Hugged close to him, Rainey spread her hands across his hard chest, trying to force inches between them. The fingers of her left hand slid inside his shirt and splayed through the coarse hair sprinkling his chest. The sensual impact took away her breath as her right palm felt the rapid beating of his heart.
Contact with Dan’s body, big and hard, made her feel safe. Protected. Again she had that strange feeling that she would always be able to count on him being there for her.
But falling in love with him would be a mistake, she warned herself. She could never fully trust him, or herself not to doubt him.
Then she wondered how a man so tough could have such long, childlike lashes. She stared at his intense expression and grew warm in the blaze of his eyes. “What do you want from me, Dan?”
“Your softness. Your laughter. That and more,” he answered slowly as his big hand began to stroke her back. His warmth penetrated her T -shirt. “I enjoy being with you. You make me feel good. Light. Happy. And that’s a good thing, isn’t it?”
In the moonlight, Dan’s face was all angles and planes, his eyes gleaming like coals in the deep shadows.
“Dan. Get real. You just basically asked me to marry you. That’s—” Rainey swallowed, warning tingles racing through her as she tried to pull away from him.
Dan’s lower body pressed insistently against her hips, and her thighs tangled with his muscular ones. She felt herself melting, curving softly into him. “Ah, Dan. You’re ... ah ... why don’t we sit up and discuss this reasonably?” she finished lamely.
