It was so easy to piss her off. So he did it frequently, just to get a rise out of her. Wade Brooks lived and breathed the Blazing Eagle ranch. It was in his blood, and raising cattle was all he knew. But when it came down to the girl next door, Joy Whitaker, he knew one thing. He got a kick out of seeing her angry. She was a spitfire and challenged him every chance she got. He'd loved to tame her, but she would fight back. Their families were at odds with each other. The rivalry dated back before either of them was born. Whitakers and Brooks grew up hating each other. A good ol' country family feud. Until now. One kiss and Wade was willing to bury the hatchet. A taste of her, and he knew she belonged to him. The past didn't have to drive their future. Or did it?
