Proper, polished Rebecca Hardaway came to New Mexico to pay her respects to the aunt she never knew-and discover the truth about her new inheritance. But keeping a broken-down farm wasn't exactly in the big-city girl's plan. Until Jake Rollins showed up at her door. The rancher-usually a "love 'em and leave 'em" kind of guy-couldn't help but wish Rebecca would find a reason to stay, at least for a little while. As she searched for clues about her mysterious past, Jake did what he could to comfort her, to care for her. . . ;and found himself captivated by her. And he kept reminding himself that loving her wasn't in his plan. . . ;.
