  Ryan St. James definitely ruffled Cass Dickens's feathers. The survival of her old-fashioned fried- chicken stand was threatened by the arrival of his glitzy new Burger City--and the hard-won independence of her heart was threatened by its devastatingly attractive owner. Nonetheless, Cass was determined to fight the huge corporation tooth and nail--or beak and claw, as the case might be.
  
  At the pinnacle of success, Ryan was looking for a new challenge, and this raven-haired beauty was it. Cass wondered if Ryan was playing with her heart to get her secret recipe--but she soon found that he was playing for keeps.
