Trouble is, under the watch of her fiercely protective family, Daisy is longing for some privacy. Letting Jackson into her life could make that even more difficult--or it might be the second chance they're both looking for . . .Praise for Kate Pearce's The Bad Boy Cowboy"HW and Samantha are unique and memorable, and this is the strongest story yet in Pearce's excellent series." --Booklist
