    About this ebook

    She's from the wrong side of the tracks. He's a rich bad boy with a past. Neither think they are good enough for the other.

     

    Mira Featherstone knows her place in life and it's not with Jake Remington. Rich guys play on the wrong side of the tracks but they don't bring girls like her home to mama. Since Mira has no expectations beyond the moment, she doesn't mind playing—and she loves toying with the bad boy lawyer, until it gets her into trouble with her boss, Heath McCoy.

     

    Jake Remington is a wealthy Texas cowboy whose family land borders the McCoy Highlands ranch, although he now practices law and lives in Kentucky. He is back in Texas to settle a land dispute between his parents and the McCoys and plans to take care of business and get the hell out of Dodge before he gets himself into trouble. Again.

     

    Because trouble for Jake always comes in the form of a Texas beauty he can't keep his hands off. His last temptation landed him with a lawsuit. But when he bumps into Mira coming out of his hotel room at Heath McCoy's resort, keeping his hands off the hotel maid is nearly impossible.
