title: Scandal with the Rancher
author: Justiss, Julia
description: After building a trading empire, establishing Whiskey River, and charming most of the females south of the Pedernales, Ronan "Booze" Kelly finds himself restless. Until his idea to start a ranch leads him to widowed rancher Marguerite McMasters. The Tejana beauty claims she'll never sell her land -- or succumb to the fiery connection between them.
  
  Marguerite will let nothing stop her from realizing her dream of running a horse-breeding ranch -- not lack of money, and certainly not her strong attraction to Booze Kelly. Much as she misses a man's embrace, a schoolmarm can't risk everything she has for him.
  
  But there's nothing Booze loves more than a challenge, whether it's a new enterprise to begin -- or a lady to beguile. Despite her convictions, can Marguerite continue to resist Booze -- or will Booze be exactly what she never knew she was missing?
