While I don’t like to spoil books, I feel the need to tell you potential readers that not only is there a total lack of holiday spirit in this book, but the romance was completely lacking as well. Choya feels it’s up to him to help her and so he hires her as a live-in housekeeper.

Ah but Jacquie looses her wallet and can’t pay her bills – not only that but when she calls home her father refuses her collect call leaving her well and truly stranded. He warns her away from his son who takes an instant liking to the girl and is known to form strong attachments. The man she ran into is Choya Barnett – a 33 year old with eyes like a mountain lion who is a rancher and widowed father. Only problem is, she causes an accident in Tombstone, AZ and has to wait for her car to be repaired. Although she has no idea what she wants from life she takes off armed with a debit card (thanks daddy!) and heads west to experience life in Los Angeles.

She is very beautiful and she knows it, just like she knows she needs to quit going to college even if her father is very upset that she’s quitting on the education he’s paying for. With over 300 million books in print in nineteen languages, Dailey remains one of the world's most popular novelists.This is a story about a young woman (just over 21) named Jacquie. Set beneath the blue skies of a spirited western town, The Master Fiddler is the searing story of strangers battling desire as only romance legend Janet Dailey can tell it. But before the hardhearted widower sets the spoiled beauty straight, he might learn a thing or two about love.

Now Choya is about to strip her bare of all her beliefs about what a man really wants from a woman-one smoldering kiss at a time.

But with nowhere else to turn, she agrees to be his live-in housekeeper, despite his scandalous terms. She knows better than to accept the hard bargain offered by the arrogant stranger Choya Barnett. Jacquie Grey heads west, dreaming of a life outside her wealthy father's influence, only to find herself stranded and broke in Tombstone, Arizona. In Tombstone, Arizona, a woman surrenders to a stranger's dangerous bargain-in this steamy romance from the New York Times–bestselling author.
