Somehow, she'd find an opportunity to examine those rippling muscles, feel those brawny arms around her, and wipe off that frown off his face with a fierce, burning kiss!He couldn't resist her...Seth Wellesley couldn't believe it when the petite but well-endowed gal stepped off the coach holding a medical bag. No self-respecting man in town, himself included, would let himself be examined by a mere woman! Seth didn't need this new problem, just as he was finally about to track down the notorious Brady gang and bring a little peace and quiet to Stone Creek.
