Description
Margaret Lark knew all about cowboys in pin-striped suits: they were the heroes in her books. She'd never admit to fantasizing about that type of man-much less acknowledge that she'd walked out on one. And Rafe Cassidy-with all the powerful grit of a true cowboy-isn't fantasy anymore. But Rafe is shooting for a different ending to their story. As ruthless and determined as a gunslinger, he's not above blackmail to get her out to his Arizona ranch for the final showdown.Tags

A gunslinger in a suit, Rafe Cassidy blew in and out of Margaret Lark's life leaving her career in shreds and her heart in tatters. Now he's out to get her back, and he's not above a bit of manipulation and blackmail to make sure he gets a second chance.
Overbearing and self-righteous, he's not my type of hero but Rafe appears to suit Margaret just fine.
