β¦ Synopsis
When World Champion rodeo cowboy Rossen Rockland and his friends rescue a young runaway who has been abused by her foster father and take her home to his parents' ranch, he expects her to turn out to be a pain in the neck. And sometimes she is. It doesn't take him long to figure out that she has way more than her allotment of troubles-- and far more than her share of gifts. Lovely, talented, and ravingly brilliant, Kit Star is too young, unbelievably humble, and oh, so loveable. Knowing that she needs his protection and time to grow into her potential, Rossen also figures out that what she really is, is a pain in the heart.-- Back cover.
