Sweetness - Paperback

Daisy O'Malley couldn't take it anymore. She had to get away from her overbearing brothers before they smothered her completely. So, she did what any sane woman in her situation would do--she pointed blindly at a map, then packed up her belongings and her cat and left.

Once in Billings, Montana, it doesn't take her long to find work as a housekeeper on a large cattle ranch an hour outside of the city. The older man who hired her is a gem, and she loves her new life. What she doesn't count on is his sexy-as-sin, but grumpy son.

Asa Mitchell just wants to be left alone. Stressed out and on the verge of a breakdown, he leaves his successful career in music and film to go back to the peace and quiet of his Montana ranch. But it's been invaded by a vivacious, mouthy, beautiful woman from Chicago, whose booty-shaking to pop music every time she cleans or bakes does everything except soothe his frazzled nerves.

But as they spend time together, and the dangers from Asa's old life invade the quiet and serene Stone Creek Ranch, they strike a deal to protect each other from the lives they want to leave behind and get more than they bargained for.
