Author's Notes:Thank you to

fiercelynormal for the amazing art, stern beta, and epic best-friending;

qafaddiction for the super-speedy beta & support; and my awesomely schmoop-needy friends for FORCING me to write this :D

Bacon, TX is a real town, but I'm positive that it doesn't even remotely resemble the one in this story. However, if they do happen to have a Sheriff Morgan there, I can get a U-Haul within the hour LOL

#5 My Favorite Cowboy
Rugged, rough and rowdy, Jarred Riddell is everything a cowboy should be. That's the problem. 'Cause Jarred has set his sights on a pretty lil' socialite who has no use for his unrefined ways. Luckily, he has a plan: get the local librarian to whip him into charm-school shape and that city gal will fall right into his gentlemanly arms.

But co-conspirator Serena Higgens has more on her mind than proper manners. She's pined for years after the sweet, hardworking rancher who lacks a bit of polish. To earn some much-needed cash, she'll put her feelings aside and give Jarred a crash course in respectability. Besides, throwing out mud-caked boots and correcting double negatives should help Serena get over her crush. It's the perfect situation…until Jarred adds kissing to the lesson plan!
