John Deere Two-Cylinder Collectibles Collector's Reference Guide
<b>Two classic love stories in a keepsake edition that will heat up your winter!</b><br> <br> <i>The Winter Soldier</i><br> <br> Everyone in Jacobsville, Texas, steered clear of taciturn Cy Parks-everyone but the spirited Lisa Monroe, who electrified the formidable loner with her tantalizing kisses. Their fiery passion escalated when the soldier returned from the line of duty-and claimed Lisa as his bride, to shield her from a revenge-seeking desperado. Clearly Cy was getting mighty possessive of this enchanting woman who needed the type of safeguarding only he could provide. But who would protect the beguiling bride from him...'<br> <br> <i>Cattleman's Pride</i><br> <br> He was strong, seductive and set in his ways. She was shy, unassuming and achingly innocent. Yet when Jordan made it his personal crusade to help Libby hold on to her beloved homestead, everyone in Jacobsville knew it was just a matter of time before wedding bells chimed. But a cattleman's pride was a force to be reckoned with. Could Libby accomplish what no woman had before and tame this Long, Tall Texan's restless heart?
