After her business partner boyfriend runs off with an intern—and all their clients—CPA Harrison Scott retreats to her father’s Hill Country ranch to decide her next move. Her father’s sudden death leaves her floundering—does she try to rebuild her career, or stay and carry on his legacy? After rudely rebuffing Duncan’s offer to buy her out, Harrison is forced to turn to her handsome neighbor to learn the ropes of ranching.
Duncan tells himself he’s only being neighborly, but their immediate attraction soon deepens. But after her boyfriend’s betrayal leaves her wary, can he convince Harrison he wants her even more than his beloved land?
