Flirtation river

Beautiful, irrepressible Miranda doesn't mean to attract attention; she just does. The problem is she's a senator's daughter, and while the press loves her high jinks, her father hates them. Worse, her antics draw threatening letters from an unknown stalker. Her exasperated father banishes her to rural Arkansas for her own safety. Miranda finds herself under the grudging protection of Quint Wilcox, a rugged veterinarian who's unreadable, unfriendly--and devastatingly handsome. Quint's Flirtation River hideaway is a rehabilitation center for wounded and orphaned wildlife. He makes it clear he prefers his animal charges to this woman he sees only as a shallow party doll. They seem hopeless opposites until they are brought closer by an unlikely group of matchmakers--including a litter of orphaned foxes and a purse full of baby squirrels. FLIRTATION RIVER was Bethany Campbell's first novel to win the Romance Writers of America RITA Award. Readers of Romantic Times magazine remembered the story well enough even twenty years later to vote it among the Best 1001 Romances written.
