Saddles & Soot — Cynthia D'Alba

Veterinarian Georgina Greyson will only be in Whispering Springs for three months covering for the town veterinarian while he is on a research trip. She isn't looking for love or roots, just maybe a good time before she moves on.When his parents leave on their dream fantasy RV trip, Tanner Marshall is left in charge of his family's cattle ranch, as well as his two younger brothers and sister. When he isn't ranching, he's doing duty on the volunteer fire department, a job he loves more than ranching. At thirty-four, he's ready to put down some roots, including marriage, children and the white picket fence.When Georgina accidentally sets her yard on fire during a burn ban, the volunteer fire department responds and she gets quite the fire lecture from one very cute firefighter. If there's one thing Tanner hates, it's carelessness with fire, but there's something about his latest firebug that he can't get out of his mind.Can an uptight firefighter looking to settle down convince a cute firebug to give up the road for a house and roots?
