Granite Man

Mariah had returned home to her sprawling Colorado ranch with nothing but a battered car, some clothes and a map for gold. And what she got was an ornery prospecting partner named Cash, with a chip on his shoulder as big as the Rockies and a past that was chasing him. Cash couldn't hide his distrust . . . or his awareness of her sensuality. More info: HEART OF STONE Cash McQueen was a hard man, a man who believed in the land and nothing else. With the land, a man knew where he stood. It was different with a woman. There wasn't one alive who could be trusted--and Mariah MacKenzie was no exception. The minute she showed up at the Rocking M Ranch with not much more than the clothes on her back and a map of a longlost gold mine, Cash knew she was trouble. Yet he couldn't seem to stop wanting her brand of trouble. But nothing would ever again make him place his trust in a woman--not even a woman he wanted as badly as Mariah MacKenzie. WESTERN LOVERS: Men as tough and untamed as the land they call home.
