[Cowboys of Holiday Ranch 03] • Cowboy Under Fire

Opposites attract in this edge-of-your-seat thriller from *New York Times* bestselling author Carla Cassidy.

Forensic pathologist Patience Forbes is a whiz with the dead--it's flesh-and-blood men who wreck her equilibrium. And cowboy Forest Stevens isn't fooled by the guarded beauty's icy facade. So when she's attacked, he appoints himself her personal bodyguard. Her *very* personal bodyguard...

Patience is determined to investigate mysterious bones on the Holiday Ranch--not fall into bed with her sexy protector. But Forest is too masculine, too willing to lay down his life for hers...and too set on living a different life from the one she's built. With danger closing in, can Forest tame the shrew before it's too late?
