Under Pressure — Rhonda Lee Carver

The oldest of three sisters, Jewels Stone takes care of everyone, especially those she loves. When she finds out the youngest Stone is duped, she plans to rope and wrangle the cowboy to teach him a lesson on how to treat a woman.

Tied to a bedpost and as mad as a hornet, Spark Ryder wants to toss Jewels over his knee and spank her. Problem is, he'd enjoy it too much. Held hostage by rope and wax strips, he tries to convince her that she has the wrong cowboy. But how can he convince her that he's innocent when she's out to settle a score against all men?

While seeking revenge, Jewels finds a passion that'll have her hanging by a dream. The pressure is too much and loose threads holding the past begin to unravel. Her brain urges her to run while her heart wishes to stay.

Spark wants nothing but distance with Jewels, but when things start to heat up on the Rhinestone Ranch, he samples Jewels' treasure and finds himself on the wrong end of the rope again -- but it's his soul that's bound to a woman who will never trust.

He wants to stitch her broken heart, but will he walk before his own heart is in need of mending?
