Part of Series
An alternate title/cover edition can be found here and here. Exiled from his family for half his life, hard-living cowboy Rory Morrissey finally quits Texas and embarks on a desperate and delicate mission: to return to New Zealand, convince shy Kiwi heiress Alfrieda Hamlin to marry him, and earn a fresh start, respectability, and one hell of a farm. Alfie might be shy but she’s no pushover. When she learns about the succession deal being hatched between her autocratic grandfather and the handsome Texan stud, she rebels. There’s no way she’ll stand by and have her expected inheritance and freedom stolen away, so with only one month to outwit the scheming duo, she throws caution to the wind and snuggles up to the man she’s been ordered to marry. After all, she needs to know her enemy if she expects to beat him at his own game. Warning: Contains one hunky cowboy determined to ride down his heiress, hog-tie her, and bundle her into his bed. This is the third of my Heartlands series. The first two are ‘Melting His Heart’ and ‘Christmas Holiday Hearts’.
Author
Kris writes sizzling contemporary romance, pure and simple. Well, maybe not that pure! They're sexy stories about couples who fall in love, and into bed along the way, just like real people do. The Scarlet Bay series about the billionaire Wynn family consists of Summer Sparks, Summer Secrets, and Summer Spice. Her South & Sexy books are set in her capital city of Wellington so she can make use of the beautiful harbor in the plots. Her Heartlands series follows the girls who live deep in the New Zealand countryside. Her all-time bestseller is 'Taken By The Sheikh', and there's 'Desired By The Sheikh' too. She's now writing the Merry Summerfield cozy mysteries - lots of cats and dogs and amateur sleuthing. The first title is Murder in the Aisle, followed by Xmas Marks the Spot, Murder! they Meowed, and Body! they Barked. For good measure, she's cloned herself! You'll now find some of her books in new, much sweeter editions under the author name of Kerri Peach. Kris/Kerri is an advertising copywriter and a decor specialist, and the author of 'The Boat Builder's Bed', of which more than two million were downloaded free. Giving away this taste of her work kick-started sales of all her other novels. Five of her novels are available in Spanish.
