Opposites attract...but can they fall in love? Jake McGuire has worked hard to earn his success. The only threat to his peace is the last woman he should ever want. He knows Ida Merridan by reputation only, but the stories he's heard are enough for him to keep her at arm's length. Twice divorced and independently wealthy, Ida did nothing to deserve her bad reputation—except choose the wrong husbands. Live and learn in a small town, but after everything life has handed her, she's in no hurry to make any more mistakes, which means no sexy ranchers, especially not Jake. But when fate throws them together, and one sizzling kiss leads to another, can Ida open her heart to the last man she should marry?
