Calhoun (Desire)

No blood relation. Although Calhoun Ballenger had raised Abby since childhood, she was now nearly twenty-one years old. How dare he keep her under his thumb, protected like a hothouse flower! Abby had to teach Calhoun a lesson. With the fury of a woman scorned, she devised a plan to prove her independence - and capture his attention. But Abby's scheme backfired. She wasn't like the sophisticates Calhoun chose as his companions. She was just a simple country girl who craved the love of a good, strong man. How could she make Cal see that she was all grown up and had her heart set on him?
