The one woman he didn't dare touch . . .

From the moment Luke Maddox sets eyes on Erin Tyler, he can think of nothing else but laying claim to Rimrock's reigning beauty. But Erin is his boss's daughter, and Luke knows Will Tyler has bigger plans for Erin's future than a rough and tumble ranch hand with a brutal history and a talent for breaking hearts. Still, that can't stop Luke from wanting her . . .

The one man she shouldn't fall in love with . . .

As Rimrock Ranch's heir apparent, Erin Tyler is expected to do the right thing, marry the right man, and take the reins of her family's legacy when the time comes. Which is why she's completely shaken by her attraction to her father's latest hire. There's something about the rugged, solitary stranger that calls to her soul. Is restless, independent Erin just feeling the familiar pull of her rebellious heart? Or is there something real happening between her and Luke? Something worth risking everything for . . .
