This contemporary romance is an emotional roller coaster that moves at an exhilarating rate.
   Carmen had all she could handle running a goat dairy with limited funds – and battling Mother Nature to boot.  The last thing she needed was a “pretty boy” underfoot.  Still, he was her partner’s brother – and he did want to see the farm.
    It was bad enough discovering the “dandy” was more adept at running the farm, but the real trouble started when she fell in love.
    Brought up by conservative and aging parents in the back hills of Arkansas, she had old-fashioned ideas about marriage that didn’t set well with her liberated friends.  She was ready to settle down and get married – and her man had better be ready to wear the pants.  Alex fit all her requirements, but he had been bitten by the love bug before.  He was twice shy about relinquishing his long-standing role as a bachelor.
    She was prepared to wait for him to change his mind, but she wasn’t prepared for the dark secret that he and his sister had been hiding.  She had fallen hopelessly in love with a man who could not meet her most important requirement. Without him life would be miserable, but life with him would mean a sacrifice she wasn’t willing to make.  Could she alter her dreams and still be happy?
