A quick fling can sure heat up a cowgirl's life

A devastating discovery ends Marti Jenkins' engagement. Now she's ready to play the field for a while. A sidestep away from an angry rattlesnake lands her in the office of Whispering Springs' new orthopedic doctor, Dr. Eli Boone. And yeah, he's as hot as she's been told.

Dr. Eli Boone is only in town for six months covering his friend's practice and then it's back to New York City and into the societal world he's lives. A widower for seven years, he's not looking for a replacement wife, but he wouldn't say no to a quick tumble in the sheets with the right woman.

Due to ridiculous challenge he never should have accepted, Eli has to get over his discomfort around horses and learn to ride before he leaves town. He turns to the one person who can help him win the bet, Marti Jenkins.

As he learns to ride a horse, Marti does a little riding of her own...and she doesn't need a horse.
