Drew Paresky runs smack into a large cowboy at the hardware store where sheβs buying supplies in her desperate attempt to restore the most derelict B&B in the world. To her surprise, the cowboy, Ray Malory, apologizes to her and helps her haul the stuff home.
Drew isnβt from Riverbendβat least, sheβs never been there, even if her grandfather owned the B&B he left her in his will. If she doesnβt fix up the place and turn it around within the year, sheβll lose not only the land but the money her grandfather left her.
Rayβs help is a godsend, but Drewβs not sure whether her growing attraction to him is wise. Sheβll fix up the B&B, inherit her money, and return to Chicago, where her life is. Drew canβt afford to set down in roots in Riverbend, Texas, and she certainly canβt afford to lose her heart. Can she?
