She's a hard-headed young woman. He's a commanding Afghan vet. Has Vidalia met her match?

Vidalia seeks refuge in the mountains after a devastating experience that changes her world. Instead of the peace and solitude she is hoping to find, she gets a sexy neighbor with a protective streak and a hard hand. The last thing she needs is an 1870 throwback putting her over his knee.

When Jake Bonner checks on his newest neighbor, he finds an extremely stubborn beauty and a kindred spirit. Disarming her of her pepper spray is easy, convincing her to let him help her isn't, but he's determined to win this battle of wills.

Finding their way to each other may just be the toughest battle either of them has ever faced. Will they make it?
