| COURTING THE COWBOY BOSS – Janice Maynard Royal, Texas – Present Day As the new president of the Texas Cattleman's Club, Case Baxter realizes his time is going to be limited, so decides to hire a cleaning service. Mellie Winslow, who owns the business, shows up to be the housekeeper, but right away Case is on alert. He finds himself attracted to Mellie, and after already being burned once by a gold-digger who married him for money, he doesn't want to risk the same thing happening again. Mellie is efficient and all business, but that changes when he comes down with a bad case of the flu. It is Mellie who nurses him back to health. In the process, the below the surface bubbling attraction between them comes to the top. While having Case as one of Mellie's clients surely will help her fledging business, getting involved with him can only lead to big problems. Yet a delirious Case is hard to resist, and he comes to rely on her. Mellie is content to be friends, but Case wants her…in his bed. She is afraid of what people will think if she embarks on an affair, especially since he makes it clear he cannot offer anything beyond a fling.
