Heiress Emma Marie Rourke is naive, innocent and very, very determined. She'll find her outlaw father and make it as a singer. Bodine—just Bodine—has promises to keep. And looking for some spoiled flibbertigibbet runaway isn't top of his list. But, dammit, his conscience won't let him rest until he finds her. And at least there's a reward for retrieving her. Protecting Emma isn't the easy job he expects it to be. Bodine is startled when he can't get his mind—or his hands—off Emma's diminutive figure! He's sworn to keep her safe—but who will save her from him?
