So Tough to Tame
ByPublisher Description
A disgraced career woman licks her wounds with her high school crush, a down on his luck cowboy, in this romantic comedy by a USA Today–bestselling author.
Charlie Allington is supposed to be on the fast track to the top—a small-town girl who was making it big in her career. Instead, she’s reeling from a scandal that’s pretty much burned all her bridges. Now, out of options, she needs a place to lick her wounds and figure out her future. True, working at a ski resort in rugged Jackson Hole, Wyoming, isn’t her dream job. But if there’s one perk to coming back, it’s a certain sexy hometown boy who knows how to make a girl feel welcome.
Cowboy Walker Pearce never expected a grown-up Charlie to be temptation in tight jeans. She’s smart and successful—way out of league for a man like him. But he’s not about to let that, or his secrets, get in the way of their blazing-hot attraction. Yet when passion turns to something more, will the truth—about both of them—send her out of his life for good . . . or into his arms forever?
Previously published in 2013.
Praise for So Tough to Tame
“I loved this book. . . . It’s a sexy, funny, emotional romp. . . . It’s also really smart, and, without being preachy or obvious, makes the reader ponder gender inequality in a way I haven’t seen in romance before. . . . A comfort read with a dose of sass and smarts; it’s just about perfect.” —Smart Bitches, Trashy Books (A+ review)
“Dahl delivers another sexy story while delving into weighty subjects, making this story deeper and more satisfying than the previous ones. It will delight her fans and attract new readers.” —Booklist
