Could Miss Prim and Proper lower her guard to walk on the wild side with Mr. Tall, Dark and Sexy? Chelsea wasn't sure, but she would definitely try.Serious, stuffy, and conservative, Chelsea Crawford Collier had deep roots in the soil of Marietta, Montana. She was not free spirited, nor wanton, and always shielded herself from scandal. That is, until Tod Styles, her ex-boyfriend, decided to be unfaithful. Now the whole town pitied her. She may not be the cause of the scandal, but she sure felt the effect. To compound the situation, Tod had sold the Marietta Railway Depot right out from under her to an outsider of all people, Jasper Flint. Never mind that Jasper drew her like a moth to a flame, igniting a raging fire inside while leaving her breathless after only one encounter. Could she keep her act together enough to procure the railway depot for her proposed museum or should she throw caution to the wind and fly close to the flame? But if she relents to Mr. Sex on Legs, would he stay with her or would she be just a temporary stop on his trip through life?Clawing his way up the ladder of success from a life of mediocrity, Jasper Flint was extremely rich, after all, he was retiring at thirty five. He had had the high profile life, the fancy house, the trophy wife, but when he stumbled upon the idyllic town nestled in the valley below Copper Mountain, he knew he wanted to live there. So he sold his business, divorced his cheating wife, and bought the Marietta Railway Depot to start a microbrewery, not the museum he had heard rumors Chelsea and her mother wanted. Then, he met Chelsea and decided he wanted her too, not as a one night stand, but a lot more, and what he wanted, he got. He knew underneath that dowdy schoolmarm exterior was a hot, fiery,sensuous woman begging to be free. Would he be able to keep her, sated, sensual and his, or would her roots for the town tear them apart?This is the first novella in the Copper Mountain Rodeo Series published by Tule Publishing. It was an excellent story: short but well written with interesting characters. It was easy to identify with the age old story of lovers VS heritage. I enjoyed this light, easy read.
