Easton Montgomery demands control and order. He’s purposely kept to himself, no strings and no nonsense. He prefers to be in charge of his destiny, keeping his life neat and tidy, all wrapped up. Life is perfect, until the bow comes undone and his world unravels.

Jessica Pierce left Denver years ago with nothing more than her clothes and a need for a new beginning. After planting roots where her car broke down, life was good. Then the ranch owner who helped her rebuild threw her a curve ball. Now she’s the new girl in Renlend, Kansas on the Montgomery’s ranch, and their son Easton is a constant source of frustration. Getting her hands around the veterinarian’s neck looks better by the day.

After a week of stepping around each other, dodging barbed comments, and Jessica’s smart mouth, Easton realizes she’s got more fire than any other woman he’s met. Suddenly Easton wonders if this curvy, blonde pistol might just be the challenge he’s been waiting for.
