Sparks fly in a marriage of convenience arranged by matchmaker Russell Braddock between a handsome Boston investor and a headstrong granddaughter trying desperately to save the failing cattle ranch she recently inherited. Jack Ryerson, who was jilted just one year earlier by an impetuous beauty named Erica (in an earlier book of the series, Carried Away), has no intention of giving his heart away again, especially to a hothead like Trinity Standish, who is convinced her grandfather's death wasn't an accident, and is endangering herself and the ranch by making wild accusations against a powerful neighbor. But Trinity's passion is contagious, and Jack soon finds himself embroiled in a dangerous feud and an even more dangerous love affair. Having invested his entire fortune in this enterprise, he could lose everything -- including his heart.
