Rosa Del Rio — Casey Brent

UNATTAINABLE LOVE

Infuriating man! She would show that Lance Gardner! This was her land now, Elizabeth Sheldon's ranch. And she would prove to him that she could last out the year here and satisfy the terms of her grandfather's will. Rosa Del Rio would never be inherited by that arrogant man!

But, Elizabeth wondered, could she last out the devastating effect that Lance Gardner had over her as well? The way she felt so vulnerable in his arms, so utterly overcome by slightest touch? He had a place of his own, and a beautiful fiancee, Elizabeth reminded herself. Why wouldn't he leave Elizabeth alone? Staring into his prismatic blue eves, Elizabeth sadly realized that it wouldn't be the rough country living, or even Lance's disdainful treatment that would finally drive her away from Rosa Del Rio.

Hero: Lance Gardner
Heroine: Elizabeth Sheldon
