title: Summer's Fortune
author: Reeves, Joan
description: Sweet Hitchhiker
  
  Summer James couldn't believe that a book could Ochange her life... until she found it! Step by step, How to Marry a Rich, Rich Man! transformed her from an ordinary girl into an irresistible lady. Now, feeling like Cinderella on her way to the ball, she left Red Rock, Texas, for the glitzy world of a big city. A brand new Summer was about to begin her search for one of Houston's most precious commodities -- a millionaire.
  
  Unfortunately, the one man she met along the way did not qualify. Covered in mud from head to toe, Ben Carr looked like a guy down on his luck and searching for work. Summer couldn't bear to leave him behind. Having spent her childhood in poverty, she understood the obstacles this hitchhiker faced. She would give him a ride to Houston, then get on with her quest -- even if his sexy brown eyes haunted her for the rest of her life.
  
  When Harding Bennett Carson met the pretty blonde along the roadside, he decided not to reveal his true identity. His dark good looks and vast fortune had always guaranteed his desirability to women. For once, he was going to bank on something else -- his true character. Summer James was in for the ride of her life.
