About the book
Afraid of taking a chance on love "My daughter's not going to be an easy mark for any penniless drifter who finds out she's got money." Dan Kane's words spoke volumes about what his attitude would be toward any penniless rancher's daughter out to lasso a Texan millionaire, too. Dawn could see how deeply Dan had been hurt by his first marriage, why he now measured a person's worth in cold hard cash. Yet he revealed his vulnerable side.... And it was country-bred Dawn, so unlike the clinging, sophisticated women of his world, who was destined to seek the riches, of the heart.
