What do an archaeologist from Back East and a
cowboy from the empty corner of Oregon have in common? Not much,
except the waterhole that Rock McConnell needs for his cattle and Genny
Forsythe must approve. First she has to make sure there are no prehistoric
petroglyphs near the site, and that could take months of study. Now Rock isn't
against preserving the past, but his cattle are gettin' mighty thirsty.
Genny's youthful dreams were filled with cowboys,
tall, lean, laconic, and Levi'd. Rock is all of them rolled into one gorgeous,
virile man. Trouble is, she's had her fill of dominant males, and Rock is about
as dominant as they come. Rock knows that delicate, feminine women can't last
in the harsh environment of Owyhee
Country, pretty women like Genny, with silvery hair and painted fingernails. But
his body sings another tune, one of immediate, demanding hunger for her kisses--and
more.
Love
will not be denied. Someone's got to bend, but who, and how much?

A hilarious collection of essays dedicated to life in the great outdoors from Field & Stream's acclaimed Sportsman's Life columnist. For nearly a decade, Bill Heavey, an outdoorsman marooned in suburbia, has written the Sportsman's Life column on the back page of Field & Stream, where he does for hunting and fishing what David Feherty does for golf and Lewis Grizzard did for the South. If You Didn't Bring Jerky, What Did I Just Eat? is the first collection of Heavey's sidesplitting observations on life as a hardcore (but often hapless) outdoorsman. Whether he's hunting cougars in the desert, scheming to make his five-year-old daughter love fishing, or chronicling his father's life through a succession of canine companions, Heavey brings his trademark wit to a wide-range of outdoor enthusiasms, running the gamut from elite expeditions to ordinary occupations. In turns hysterical and poignant, entertaining... Views: 45
