Opposites attract with this vintage book from Debbie Macomber about two different people who discover romance against all chances.

Fresh off a breakup, Taylor Manning accepts a yearlong teaching position in Cougar Point, Montana, and plans to spotlight herself, prevent men, and come back home a changed female. That’s before she fits Russ Palmer, an area rancher who’s as persistent as he is handsome. Along with his old-fashioned behaviour about females, Russ is the last guy Taylor could visualize dating, and the feeling appears to be mutual. So why can’t she seem to get him off her mind?

Russ is bringing up his teenage sister simply by his lonesome, and he doesn’t appreciate Cougar Stage’s pretty new instructor second-guessing his decisions as a surrogate parent. In fact, every time they mix paths, Taylor seems to have a bone tissue to choose. But no matter how much they disagree, their chemistry is certainly off the charts. And if Taylor would quit arguing long enough to note, Russ will give her a very good reason to hang in there.
