Zakiyyah Watts lives life on her own terms. She loves to have a good time, and she works hard to be able to afford her lifestyle of never letting anything tie her down. Everything changes when she finds herself in court fighting for custody of her late twin sister's son. Kiyyah never wanted to be a mom. She doesn't know what it's like to have a family that's always there.

In walks Cameron Dean, sheriff of a small town and ranch owner. The rigid and uncompromising single dad can't understand a woman like Kiyyah. She's irresponsible, and she reminds Cam of his ex-wife, who abandoned him and their young daughter. Despite knowing Kiyyah could never make a good mother, Cam, decides the best way to care for the baby is to share custody with Kiyyah.

Cam didn't count on how much of a temptation Kiyyah is. She's wild and beautiful, stubborn and sexy—and she interferes in his life at every turn. He tries to deny what his heart and body is telling him. Then he begins to see the real woman, the person who is just as lonely and vulnerable as he is. When the situation gets desperate, Cam must step up or risk losing the best thing that's ever happened to him.
