Author Description

Ray MacAdams and Billy Ducharme have been best friends since her family moved to his ranch fourteen years ago to start a new sheep ranching operation. Through thick and thin, good and bad, fire and rain, their friendship has only gotten stronger-so strong that nothing could possibly break their bond, a bond that for Ray has suddenly changed from simply friends to something deeper... Something that makes her dream of days and nights beside the man she loves, something that makes her wish she were more than just the shepherd's daughter. Then Billy's mail order bride arrives. Rebecca DuCastille is everything Ray is not: refined, well-mannered, and pretty as a porcelain tea cup. How can Ray possibly compete for Billy's heart when his new bride is everything he could want in a proper wife? Can the shepherd's daughter convince her childhood friend that their love for one another goes beyond friendship, or will Billy marry the pretty interloper and leave Ray out to pasture?
