About this ebook

Nothing less than sheer desperation could make Ian Foster hire Tansy Appletree. The solitary sheep farmer and vivacious accountant slash town mayor have absolutely nothing in common. So why is Ian feeling like a different person ever since Tansy arrived to go over his books?

Serenity Valley's resident recluse doesn't fool her for a minute. Tansy's been curious about Ian for years—she's a sucker for his rugged outdoorsman quality. What she sees is someone who's chosen to set himself apart from their town. Beneath that gruff, growly exterior, he's sweet and tender and has already forged a strong bond with his brother's foster boy.

Ian just needs someone to help him see his family man potential. And Tansy's elected herself. But even she may not be able to pull off this miracle.

About the author

Barbara Daly grew up with a passion for reading and a firm belief in happy endings. Marriage to an academic on the move led her to seek out a mobile career in order to go with him from coast (the Atlantic) to river (just beyond the Mississippi). After studying short story writing and playwriting, she at last found her own happy ending in writing romance. Six states later, she currently lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband and cairn terrier, and is collaborating with Liz Jarrett on a series for Harlequin American Romance under the pseudonym Daly Thompson. Liz Jarrett has been writing stories since she was a child. After graduating from college, she was a technical writer for twelve years before she decided to stay home with her children. During their naps, she started writing again, this time focusing on fiction. She naturally turned her attention to her favorite type of stories--romances.
