Rodeo bullfighter Wyatt Darrington's got it all figured out. The perfect car, the perfect job, the perfect looks--the perfect lie. He may be on the fast track to the Hall of Fame, but he knows he'll always be an outsider to people like Melanie Brookman. Texas-born and bred, with the arena in her blood, Melanie's come to see Wyatt as her personal enemy, and that suits him just fine--this way, she'll never realize the truth. He's been crazy in love with her for years. Melanie's always been a fighter. Fiercely independent and tough as nails, she's stood up to everything that got in her way--including Wyatt. But now her infamous temper's got her on the ropes, and there's nowhere left to run but toward the man she swore she'd never trust . . . and this time, there's no denying just how hot he makes her burn .
