BECKY'S SALAD  
Excerpt from A MONTANA FAMILY:  
Veterinarian Dana Hathaway is raising two kids and trying to keep her ranch in  
the black—no easy task after the death of her husband three years ago. A meddling  
mother, matchmaking best friend, and a neighboring rancher with the hots for her—or  
could it be her ranch?—make her life complicated. But when her old high school flame  
Zach returns to Fossil Hill, Colorado, things change from challenging to downright  
dangerous.  
Undercover DEA Special Agent Zach Forrestor is on medical leave, and has  
brought his newfound niece to this small Colorado town hoping to keep her safe. But an  
old enemy follows him and threatens all he cares about—his late sister's child, and the  
newly-rekindled love he'd never hoped to regain.  
In the midst of old emotions and very real danger, Dana doesn't have much time  
for complicated menu planning. This salad, however, is one that wins Zach's heart.  
(For more of their story, see OPERATION KATIE, Harlequin Superromance, in  
June of 2002.)
