COTTONWOOD CREEK He's in her bad books. 
 Someone's been skimming profits from Clay Alderson's ranching operation, and now the government has sent an auditor to check the books. The very attractive Ms. J. C. McDenna is all business. She's prepared to stay at his ranch for as long as the job takes, although it's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore her attraction to him - an attraction he seems to feel too. But she's determined to keep their relationship professional. 
 Unfortunately, her professional opinion of Clay is that he's the prime suspect.
