  CHRISTA
  She never forgot the man who saved her newborn daughter--and gave her something to live for...
  
  TRICK
  The Nevada cowboy still dreamed of the courageous woman who once crossed his path...
  
  When Christa heard that Trick Garradine needed a cook, she saw a chance to repay him for his kindness. And even though Trick thought the desert was no place for a city woman and a little girl, Christa vowed to prove him wrong. She made his rough-and-tumble ranch a home and lit a fire inside the cowboy's cold and lonely heart. And suddenly Trick longed for more than the wide-open plains: a lifetime spent in Christa's warm embrace.
