Can she trust the man who holds the fate of her family's ranch—and her heart—in his hands? Astrid Anderssen never planned to manage her family's ranch. When her father breaks his leg, however, she has no other choice. She has pinched every penny and stretched every dollar, but it's still not enough. If the new bank owner is anything like the old one, he'll send them packing when the next loan payment comes due. Grant Watson left Rattlesnake Ridge under a cloud of shame. Inheriting his late uncle's bank brings him back to town, but ledgers full of gouging loans do nothing to help his reputation. Even the lovely blonde newcomer he crosses paths with on his first day in the bank seems to share the town's opinion of him. When all hope seems lost, Grant offers Astrid a job in the bank. Is it an answer to her family's prayers? Or will a growing attraction for her new boss add up to a disastrous end? If you enjoy romances with tortured heroes and damsels in distress, then you'll love Returning from Rhode Island.
