Hard-Headed Woman
Pride goeth before...

For Charlie McAllister, sacrificing her hard-won independence went against the grain. Yet she didn't have a choice. To save her Montana sawmill, she had to work for Cole Morgan, cutting his timber... temporarily, at least.

But Cole made it more and more obvious that he wanted her, for business and pleasure--and Charlie hadn't planned on sacrificing herself in the bargain. She negotiated a deal that won her back her freedom, driving Cole away. Only then did she realize that, in saving her woman's pride, she'd lost her man's love.
