Painfully shy Fate Richards is venturing out on her own for the first time. She is surprising her best friend at Triple Creek Resort for a week of relaxation ... and unfortunately, work. In order to get a room, Fate had to agree to tend bar for the resort for two weeks. When she learns her friend is not at the ranch, she panics, but is stuck because she promised to tend bar.
When Chase Williams encounters the beautiful young woman in the bar for the first time, sparks fly. He accuses her of theft and the normally reticent Fate finds herself furious that this gorgeous stranger would question her integrity.
Their road to happiness is short, but littered with danger and intrigue. Will Chase be able to find Fate in time to save her from a flash flood? Will he go to prison for a murder he didn't commit? Will they be able to save the ranch from an unscrupulous land developer?
