Dakota was not used to this heat. A Midwest girl, stepping off the bus into this harsh Texas air was like getting slapped in the face. But the heat and the strange faces were still preferable to the past that had her on the run. But as they say, When in Rome...and while she normally would never step foot into a rodeo, this tall jerk with the golden eyes was about to make this a night she wouldn't forget. Maybe the heat isn't so bad... Edward Tyrell has a drinking problem. Well, what he really has is a problem paying for his drinks. He can't help being so thirsty: he never asked to be a Bear Shifter. His debts always seem to catch up with him, and this time it meant being tossed out of the beer tent. Softening his fall was a curvy little thing full of spit and vinegar. The more he smiled, the more she raged. Some problems are more fun than others...
