During a night's stay at his Jacobsville ranch, Ivy Conley wound up in ranch owner Stuart York's arms. The resulting fireworks singed them both... and, knowing she was too young, Stuart closed his heart to her.

Now, years later, Ivy is determined not to be treated like a little girl any more. Although still an innocent, Ivy knows she has to fight her own battles – but for some reason Stuart is always fighting them for her, keeping her from harm. And safe in Stuart's arms Ivy feels like a woman, a woman who belongs to him.
