title: Bound by the Montana Mountain Man
author: Bowles, Jan
description: Still suffering from a bitter divorce, twenty-seven-year-old Cassie Philips moves to rural Montana, vowing never to trust a man again. Brad Dawson, a thirty-five-year-old mountain guide, is intrigued by his new neighbor. Why has the city girl settled so far from home? Known as the Mountain Man by the locals, Cassie is soon wary of the predatory cowboy rancher, who never wants to settle down. Unable to deny the attraction between them, they soon embark on a torrid sexual affair. Cassie is haunted by her past, and this "neighbors with benefits" relationship is just what she's looking for. Will there ever be more than just sex between them, or can they find real love, too?
