Some days, it doesn’t pay to get out of bed! That’s what crosses Clint Evans’s mind theminute he takes on the four thugs holding heiress Julie Rose hostage. It isn’t the danger thathas Clint in a lather, but Julie herself. The pretty, petite schoolteacher he’s been hired toreturn to her wealthy fiancé is no fainting trust-fund baby. She’s more of a hellcat, one whowon’t be deterred when she sets her sights on something. And her sights are set on Clint.
