Hank Collins was strong, sensitive, handsome--and a carpenter. Construction supervisor Catherine McGillis thought the whole package was terrific. Her family disagreed. Their "baby" should marry a man with more prospects--starchy white-collar prospects. The icy disapproval of Cat's protective parents and four brawny brothers was nearly enough to chill any heated longings.

But Hank was a man whose passions burned hot, and he loved the sexy, sensual woman he found beneath capable Cat's coveralls. Still, he had to wonder about the McGillis clan's ambitions for Cat, and her ambitions for herself. In her own way, she was very much a lady--and he was just a carpenter.... Would she marry him anyway?
