With the way she stood up to men, Temperance Tyler had more than earned the nickname "Temper." A widow embittered by a loveless marriage, she had left the gambling halls of Texas, hoping for better luck as a cook at Buckingham Ranch.

Temper was afraid of no man—and she had to remind herself that no matter how much he made her blood boil or her body ache with desire, he was just another man.

Half-Comanche and the son of an English earl, Harvard-educated Brit Hand could break wild horses while talking to them in four languages. He was a man with temperate needs—and the flame-haired temptress running his new-found household was anything but temperate. Yet from the moment they met, he found her strangely arousing, with the defiant power to unlock his wild, passionate side, and the hot temper to tame his restless heart.
