Black Creek Ranch
The Black Creek Bully
Her family had moved away from Black Creek Ranch years ago, but Drew LeBeau still loved that land. And no man - no matter how tall, dark and sexy - was getting his hands on her property! But with her bossy brothers outvoting her, Drew would just have to take it upon herself to find the one sentimental bone in Nick Orion's muscular body...
Nick wasn't the kind of man who got stranded in the wilds of Wyoming, yet here he was, arguing with an impossible, irresistible woman who reminded him of the kind of man he used to be. A man who once had a family, a man who used to smile, a man who now had nothing - but a chance.

About the author
Jackie Merritt
122 books19 followersJackie Merritt's first book was published in December of 1988, and since then she's been deeply engrossed in the writing game. While she's gone through dry spells, where she can't write a word that makes sense and every idea ends up in the trash can, for the most part she's usually working on a viable story.
Jackie honestly believes that anyone with a reasonable grasp of language and grammar can write a bookif they're self-disciplined enough to put in the time and effort that writing demands. Starting a book is easy; staying with it until it is finished is the part that stops many would-be authors. Jackie believes she had an advantage that a lot of people do not have. As a former accountant, she was used to working alone and completing long projects. Oddly enough, the same principles apply to writing.
Plus, of course, you have to love it. Jackie's first attempts to write fiction were so bad they were comical, but she still fell in love with writing. She had written hundreds of business letters before that, but never a word of fiction, and there, all of a sudden, was a whole new world for her to explore.

Black Creek Ranch is a romance novel by American author, Jackie Merritt, and part of the American Heroes; Against All Odds series. Helicopter pilot, Drew LeBeau is being forced by her brothers to sell the family ranch to developer, Nick Orion. So when she gets a chance to fly him there to show him what a loss this will be, she grabs it. Unfortunately, mechanical problems oblige a landing and three nights at Black Creek Ranch together with this grumpy, rude, obnoxious but also very sexy workaholic male. Nick is angry and impatient to get back, but the enforced inactivity starts to change his view of things, and he notices there is more to Drew than being impetuous and irritating. This is a delightfully sweet sexy romance with a feisty, sassy, independent heroine and a sensitive, persistent hero. The plot may be classic, but Merritt executes it with flair and style; her characters have depth and appeal and her dialogue is credible; a few hot sex scenes add to the enjoyment. This is Merritt at her best.
