The rules were simple . . . Keep my hands off his daughter and stay out of trouble. But now I’m stuck with her . . . And there’s only one bed . . . Oh well, rules are made -- to be broken . . . aren't they? I’m the face of professional bull riding -- the golden boy. Or at least I was, until it all blew up in my face. Now my agent says I have to clean up my image, so I’m stuck with his ball-busting daughter for the rest of the season as my “full-time supervision.” But I don’t need a goddamn babysitter -- especially one with skin-tight jeans, a sexy smirk, and a mouth she can’t stop running. A mouth I just can’t stop thinking about . . . Because Summer isn’t just another conquest. She sees the man behind the mask, and she doesn’t run -- she pulls me closer, even when she shouldn’t. She says this means nothing -- but I say this means everything. She says there are boundaries we shouldn’t cross. That my reputation can’t take any more hits -- and neither can her damaged heart. I say I’m going to steal it anyway.

Soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them.

Rautatie on Juhani Ahon ensimmäinen taiteellinen täysosuma. Pienoisromaani kertoo miehestä ja naisesta, jotka päättävät lähteä katsastamaan lähiseudulle rakennettua rautatietä. Ahon kertomus käsittelee muun muassa kansanihmisten fantasioita sekä syrjäseutujen ja kehittyneempien alueiden vastakohtia. Vaikka romaanin keskipisteessä ovat modernistumisen vaikutukset ja uuden ajan innovaatiot, osoittavat pienen pitäjän luonnonkuvaus ja henkilöhahmojen arkisen elämän vakaa välittäminen Ahon kyvykkyyden kirjailijana.

Samuli Paulaharju sai arvostusta, Maria Haapanen sen sijaan jäi köyhyyteen ja unohtui. Myös puolisoiden osuus Paulaharjun työssä on jäänyt liian vähälle huomiolle.
