Tess Grady doesn’t do playboy cowboys and as far as she’s
concerned that’s exactly what Gage McBride is. Tess wants
steady, stable, and secure in a man and Gage seems to be the
farthest thing from that. When women come up to a man in a
bar and slap him, that’s got to be a good sign that he’s not
the one for her, or a suitable male role model for her young
daughter. After losing her husband in a car accident, Tess
isn’t even sure she can love again.
Gage has been waiting for the right woman, and he’s sure
Tess is the one. The problem is that she believes the
reputation he has somehow earned after being betrayed by the
one woman he ever loved. He’s not the “cowboy with a woman
in every town” that Tess believes he is and he intends to
prove it to her.
Tess starts to fall for the sexy cowboy when things start to
go desperately wrong. Harvey Norton, a man from Gage’s past
is seeking revenge. Not only did Gage help to put Harvey
behind bars for embezzling, but Tess, the woman Harvey is
attracted to, seems to be falling for Gage.
Gage’s life is in danger and soon Tess’s is, too. Gage must
save Tess while at the same time trying to stay alive.
