Is Rattlesnake Ranch ready for prime time?

Single dad Buck can be as prickly as an Arizona cactus if he thinks that you're messing with his home—or with the daughter he adores. But even he has to admit that ranching's been a hard road recently. Domestic goddess Merry might be the solution to all of Buck's prayers…in more ways than one!
