"Leigh Greenwood… has written another powerful, yet poignant saga in his Night Rider series... saddle up and read on!"—Fresh Fiction

When Carla Reece''s brother loses his half of their ranch in a high-stakes game of poker she''s less than pleased. Especially when the blond giant that swaggers up to her door makes her madder than wet hen and weak in the knees all at the same time.

Carla had never met anyone more infuriating in her life. No matter how stupid her brother had been for gambling away his stake of the ranch, his usurper had no right to take over her land. But her new foreman claimed to be some foreign royalty and promised to leave after a year. Still, a year was way too long to spend with such an exasperating man.

Ivan may have charmed everyone in town into thinking he was the perfect gentleman, but Carla knew better. There had to be a chink in his armor—a red hot-passion under that calm, cool gaze. But once she finds it, she may be in for more than she ever bargained for.
