description: THE RANCHER AND THE SCHOOLMARM
  
  Rancher Jason McClain trusted no one but his nine-year-old son. His former wife had taught him that women were calculating and faithless and that love was a trap. He had no intention of ever being caught in it again.
  
  Then Jason met Carrie Maxwell, Johnny's fourth-grade teacher. He was touched by her beauty, her innocence and the gentle understanding she showed his troubled son. Haunted by his memories, self-conscious about his scarred body, he felt he had nothing to offer a woman. Carrie knew she could heal his wounds if he'd let her. But could she convince him to trust again?
