He doesn't have much money to spread around.He needs to come up with the money for his brother, J.J. for college.Lucie Crane was hitchhiking in Utah when Boone and Ho stop to pick her up. Ho knows that Boone needs a cook because Mattie has driven off the last 3 and the ranch hands are getting tired of Boone's meals from a can.Mattie takes to Lucie right away and decides she will be a good match for Boone, who at 36 has avoided any permenant commitment.He will not involve any woman in the hard life of a rancher, as it broke his mother's heart. His solvency comes from an unexpected source and quite tickles his sister, Jane and J.J. [you will get a kick out of these characters names].Lucie finally tells Boone that she could not take a fourth proposal [3 will fine thank you very much.] Mattie and Boone help Lucie to finally find a family to love.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --M should make a great keeper.

Lucie Crane is twenty four years old and has run away from home. She finds herself at an isolated ranch in Idaho's Sawtooth Valley. She lands a job as a cook at the Double H. Unfortunately, Lucie grew up with servants, so she does not know how to cook. She has also never run a dishwasher in her life. Nevertheless, she needs a place to hide. Boone Harlow, her boss, agrees not to ask her any questions about her past, which is exactly why the ranch is a perfect place for her to hide.Boone Harlow needed a cook and someone to keep his elderly grandmother company. He is having a hard time, however, remembering that Lucie is his employee. He knows that the last thing he should do is touch or kiss her. It gets harder and harder to remember that as the whole town plays matchmaker, including his grandmother.Boone is a hardworking, decent, and most importantly an honest man. Lucie knows that she must tell him the truth about her past and who she really is. As more time goes by it gets harder for Lucie to tell Boone the truth. Lucie can only hope that her lies do not blow up in her face. This was a very enjoyable story with two very likable characters. Lucie's antics in the kitchen bring in an added element of humor.
