The Cowboy Next Door

She Doesn't Need His Protection!

Hardworking cowboy Johnny Cash has always been a protector to his little sister's best friend, sweet but tough cowgirl Shannon Douglas. It's pretty crazy for girls to ride bulls—yet it's her life to live. Then he realizes he's got some purely male instincts toward her, too. But absolutely no way can he fall for his boss's daughter—if he loses his job, there'll be hell to pay at home….

Shannon was raised to be strong and independent. She wants a national title so bad she can taste it—and she needs Johnny's help. His protectiveness drives her crazy…the same way his kisses do. But she's not about to hang up her bull rope because of him! Her heart says he's the one—but her own stubborn streak might push away the only man who might actually understand her.
