Batteries Not Required

Handle with Care.

Experience has taught Gayle Hayes one thing: men are jerks.
And after forgetting that one lesson again and again, Gayle
has decided to come back to her small-town Montana roots and
reset her curlers, so to speak. The last person she expects
to run into is her former high school sweetheart. With his
steely grip and steady gaze, rodeo bad boy Tristan
McCullough isn’t quite the boy she left behind. What
hasn’t changed is the spark still zinging between
them—and with a little luck, a little timing, and
exactly the right touch, it just might light up the rest of
their lives together . . .

Originally published June 2005 in trade paperback within
