Lily never imagined inheriting her father's ranch would lead to a deadly standoff with a ruthless town banker-but she's not one to back down.

When her father passes away, Lily is left to run the family ranch on the outskirts of a small town where the unscrupulous banker Mr. Johnston is scheming to buy up land and sell it to the railroad. Determined to protect her home, Lily refuses to sell, setting herself on a collision course with Johnston's violent plans.

Enter Astrid-known as the "Iron Spade"-a skilled cowgirl with a reputation as sharp as her wit and a knack for finding trouble. When Astrid rides onto Lily's ranch, sparks fly. Lily can't deny the growing attraction between them, even as she fights to keep her heart guarded. But when Johnston sends a posse of outlaws to steal Lily's prized horses, it's Astrid who takes charge, tracking the thieves and confronting them in a daring gunfight that leaves Lily seeing her in a whole new light.

As tensions rise, Johnston hires a deadly gunslinger to take Astrid down. In a high-stakes duel, Astrid must put everything on the line to protect the woman she's come to love. But Johnston won't stop until he's taken everything from Lily-and the final showdown at the ranch will test both their strength and their love in ways they never expected.

In this sweeping western romance, love and loyalty are pitted against greed and violence as two women fight not only for their land but for the life they want to build together.
