Wagered woman

the long version

Prim-and-proper Delilah Jones was so ornery that her no-good daddy was gambling the mercantile to buy her a bridegroom. But bushy-bearded Sam Fletcher would have to be loco to bet on bedding the cantankerous spinster who'd long since branded him a rude, crude, low-down longhair. Still, the sparks they'd always struck off each other were suddenly igniting a hot new hunger in Sam, and the prospect of taming the sexy shrew was beginning to look downright irresistible .. . . But with her snapping eyes and siren's body, little Lilah proved stiff competition for strongman Sam . . . and soon it was anyone's wager who would tame whom when Sam took on Delilah! The book is based in a small town setting. Delilah Jones tries to prove to everyone especially herself; that she is a sophisticated career woman, who basically doesn't want to be like any of her rowdy brothers. For almost 20 years her and her enemy Sam Fletcher made a silent vow, by pretending the other wasn't there. Until one day Sam Fletcher who also despises her, comes into her life all of a sudden and breaks that vow. To make it worse Sam is every bit as wild as her brothers
