  <default_description>Fire up your love of romance with &lt;I&gt;Montana Rose&lt;/I&gt;, where Cassie Griffin, a seemingly spoiled pregnant woman, is widowed one day and wedded the next. Marrying handyman Red Dawson seems the only alternative to Cassie&#8217;s being hitched to a brutal rancher. But can this &#8220;China doll&#8221; bear exchanging smooth silk for coarse calico? Red was reluctant to be yoked to an unbeliever, but sometimes a man has no choice. Will Red change Cassie&#8217;s heart by changing her name? Wade Sawyer is obsessed with saving Cassie from a marriage of convenience. How far will he go make her his own? </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Montana Rose is a rollicking western adventure. Red wants a wife who can think for herself, but he ends up with Cassie, who's first husband beat her into a quiet, submissive woman. This book touches on a serious topic but in a humerous way.]]></body>
