Cool, professional, and always in control, Julie Everett’s perfect New York life is rocked when she inherits a Colorado horse ranch from her late father – a man she’s never known. Then one horrible Monday takes away her job, fiancé, and choices, and she gets on the plane to Open Skies Ranch. After all, a quick sale would be ideal…

When Jake Weston hears that the spoiled daughter of his former employer is coming to accept her inheritance, he’s furious. What does a city party girl know about horses, or running a hotel, or anything at all? With every muscled inch of his body, he’s determined to give Julie a hard time, and punish her presumption and arrogance.

Jake soon realizes that what he’s heard about Julie doesn’t add up, and he decides to find out the truth. What he doesn’t expect to uncover is a vulnerable woman, looking to be loved for once in her life. Their passion sizzles hotter than anything either one has ever known before - but can Jake convince Julie that loving him is safe?
