The Mating Season

Jonni is a city sophisticate and a country girl. She has never given up her love for country living, even as a model in New York. Jonni’s fiancé, Trevor, is the perfect accompaniment to her glamorous city lifestyle.

Gabe Stockman, however, is decidedly different. After meeting him again at her parents’ ranch in Kansas, Jonni is suddenly filled with doubts and uncertainties. She faces a difficult choice: the elegant, well-mannered man she is engaged to, or the earthy, vital ranchman who believes that Jonni belongs in the country—and in his arms.
