MR. JULY

His Name: Rafe Courtenay

His Challenge: To rescue a kidnapped child

His Accomplice: Beguiling Valentina O'Hara

Their Destination: A remote canyon where danger will merge with desire

When Rafe Courtenay is on a mission, nothing stands in his way. Not scorching heat and rugged terrain. Not a tempting female whose tormented nightmares shatter the still desert nights. But Rafe, who has never truly needed anyone, needs Valentina O'Hara. And though the legendary markswoman inhabits a man's perilous world, Rafe intends to win her trust—and love—by treating her like a real woman.
