Christmas at the Rockin' K

<p>The Kipling family has returned for a Christmas celebration.</p><p> </p><p>Brenda Straton is shocked and in truth a little appalled that she and her roommate have been invited by their mentors to spend Winter break at a cattle ranch in the mountains of Colorado. Why would a family they don't know invite them to spend Christmas with them? People just don't do that at least not in her experience.</p><p> </p><p>Thomas Blackhawk has been asked by his employer to escort and work with a bunch of engineers coming in for three weeks to see if they can discover what is causing the contamination of a stream in the northern pasture. They've only got a few months to get the problem cleaned up before the spring thaw.</p><p> </p><p>Brenda and Thomas take one look at each other and the heat roars. She's too young for him and she's only on the ranch for a few weeks. They need to ignore the flair of attraction and lust if they know what's good for them.</p><p> </p><p>Apparently they do not care what's good for them.</p>
