Description: PASSION IN DISGUISE With a ruthless competitor determined to drive her out of business, spirited Mary Alice "Al" Donnelly has her hands full running the Four Roses Mine. So she eagerly awaits the help her meddlesome father is sending to San Francisco. Anticipation turns to fury, however, when the hot-tempered miss meets her new "partner," Travis Deal--a dandified "fancy-man" used to the soft life and satin sheets. But there is more to Travis than meets the eye. From behind his flamboyant facade is a former U.S. marshal determined to get to the root of the "accidents" plaguing the Four Roses. And it's getting harder from him to keep his "dandy" act up--what with the irresistible temptation of tempestuous "Al" Donnelly so close at hand...and so ripe for touching, and kissing and loving.
