Desert Rose - J. Arlene Culiner - Bog

Rose Badger is the local flirt, and if the other inhabitants of backwoods Blake's Folly, Nevada, don't approve, she couldn't care less. With a disastrous marriage and a dead-end career far behind her, settling down is the last thing she intends to do. Newcomer Jonah Livingstone is intriguing, but with his complicated life, he's off limits for anything other than friendship. Besides, Rose has a secret world of her own-one she won't give up for any man. The last person geologist Jonah Livingstone expected to meet in a semi-ghost town is the sparkling and lovely Rose Badger. But Rose, always surrounded by many admirers, doesn't seem inclined to choose a favorite. So why fret? Jonah keeps his personal life well hidden...and that's the best way to avoid disappointment.
