title: The Rancher and the Bad Girl
author: Barcelo, Kira
description: Like any other mail order bride, Melanie Cranford is looking for a new life and adventure, hoping to find it with rancher Reeve Larson. She didn't expect the cowboy to be so good-looking--or so strict! Reeve is pleasantly surprised to find he got more than he bargained for with Melanie, though she's a beautiful woman who's often in need of being taken in hand.
  But Reeve doesn't know that Melanie is harboring a secret about her past, one that threatens to shatter the life they are building together in that frontier Montana town. Further complicating matters is Melanie's proud older sister, Olivia, and the brooding, tough guy cattle rustler detective, Forest, who's smitten by her.
  Will Reeve find out the truth about his bride and send her back East, or will he see her as she sees him--through the eyes of love?
