A secret life is the best protection against love…

Men love Rose Badger, and if the other inhabitants of dead-end Blake's Folly, Nevada, don't approve, she couldn't care less. With a disastrous marriage far behind her, settling down is the last thing she intends to do. Isn't life for fun? Doesn't a stable relationship always mean predictability and boredom? Well… perhaps things might be different with Jonah Livingstone, but he is off limits for anything other than friendship. Even though he's started a slow burning fire inside her, he's still entangled in a complicated past relationship. And Rose has another secret life—one that she'll never give up for any man.

The last person geologist Jonah Livingstone expected to meet in a semi-ghost town is Rose Badger. She's easy-going, delightfully spontaneous, and Jonah is certain their attraction is mutual. But Rose is always surrounded by a crowd of admirers and doesn't seem inclined to choose a favorite. Though Jonah has also suffered a failed marriage, he can't help being drawn to Rose—and he dares to hope she may feel the same for him. But is Jonah too independent to settle into a permanent relationship again? He's leading his own very private life, as well…and secrets are an excellent protection against love. Will he do what it takes to hold on to his DESERT ROSE?
