Arita Carter's life, defined by her Boston heritage, is disrupted when she inherits her murdered aunt's Wyoming ranch and meets a cowboy she cannot resist. Clay Harding resents working for an arrogant redhead who knows more about caviar than cattle. Defensive and trying to mask desire for his new boss, Clay treats Arita with indifference. She responds with haughtiness.

Gradually, Arita is seduced by Wyoming's uncluttered open spaces…and by the hunky foreman. One wild night has her questioning her values, her future, and her past, but being shot at sends her back to the security of Boston.

Are her feelings for this man, who's so different from anyone she's ever known, strong enough to make her give up her work, her family, and her comfortable world to live on a remote ranch? Can she return to Wyoming and face the danger of a killer…and a love that's totally wrong for her?
