Misty McAdams is the only female hand on the McAdams' ranch, but she works just as hard as any of the cowboys. For many generations, her family has rescued and trained wild mustangs, then giving them to great homes. The annual round-up has always been Misty's favorite week of the year, so much so that she has always dreamed of having her own mustang rescue ranch in Montana one day.

Especially to Misty McAdams. As one of the youngest hired hands, 22 year old Clay seemed perfect for Misty...as least in her mind.

Despite her plans to never talk to Clay again, Misty's dad still paired the two up to ride together on the roundup. Because of that morning, Misty knew that any hope that she had of even just being friends with Clay flew out the window that day, or so she thought...

He prayed every night that he wouldn't wake up, but until then he needed something to keep busy. Emmaleigh had her hands full since her father passed away, leaving her in charge of a run down, nearly bankrupt ranch. Leaving behind her successful career, she promised herself she would at least try to bring the Lazy J ranch back to its former glory, the way she remembered it when her momma had been alive. All she needed was some good help, cheap help at that, because she was finding out it was too hard to do alone.

Hannibal Heyes is an outlaw trying to go straight. He's wanted dead or alive. The former leader of the Devil's Hole Gang doesn't have time or room for a woman in his life. But when he saves a girl from a band of murdering thieves, everything changes.

But when she is rescued by a handsome, dimple faced cowboy, a whole new life opens up to her. Now she faces an uncertain future and an undeniable, burgeoning sexual awareness of her rescuer. As their friendship and their love grows, she finds that behind the strong, seemingly unshakable man, stands the shadow of a lost, lonely little boy who just may need rescuing himself.
