When Raven's two-bit gambler husband ordered her to entertain a handsome cowboy at dinner, she had no idea of the double dealings involved. How was she to know that he had promised the good-looking stranger a night in her bed for $1,000, or that he had no intention of keeping his word?
Cheated of his night of passion, Chance McGruder couldn't get the dark-haired little beauty out of his mind. So he was both tantalized and tormented when she showed up at the neighboring ranch, newly widowed but no less desirable. What kind of a wife would agree to sell herself to another man? What kind of a woman would run off with $1,000 that wasn't hers? What kind of a widow could make him burn to possess her? And what kind of man was he to ignore his doubts and gamble his heart that when she gave her body, it would be for love.
