Tiffany Warren is forced by her mother, Rose, to leave New York City and stay with her estranged father, Franklin. Rose and Frank have been separated for 15 years, since Tiffany was three. There has always been a mystery surrounding the reason for the sudden uprooting of Tiffany and desertion of her husband to move from Montana, insisting Frank is not to see Tiffany again. Her three sons, Sam, Carl and Roy remained with their father, only visiting New York periodically. An attempt on Frank's life is at the bottom of the desertion and never revealed to anyone, including Frank.

Because of a feud with the Callahan family over water rights to their ranch, a truce was arranged by Rose with Zachary Callahan. His oldest son Hunter and Tiffany were promised to each other in marriage as children. She is visiting to meet her attended, with no intention of marrying him, but only to pacify her mother. Now Tiffany devises a scheme to pretend to be a housekeeper in the Callahan household when the circumstances are surprisingly made available to her. Secretly assuming the duties of housekeeper and cook in a house full of men and a totally unkempt house, teaches her there is more than being waited on by a lady's maid. What she doesn't expect is to fall in love with Hunter. Of course, Hunter thinks he is attracted to Jenny Fleming, the housekeeper who changed her mind over taking the job. The pert and proper little city girl finds the gun toting, horse riding uncivilized cowboys are not what she thought they would be. Rose is the only one that can settle the feud and lead her daughter to find the life she refuses to believe is for her.

ONE HEART TO WIN is truly an exciting romantic tale of a strong willed and sheltered young woman learning the hardships of the wild western days on a ranch. I was really drawn in by the story line and the wonderful characters. As usual, Johanna Lindsey has been true to form in creating a most delightful and entertaining story. I was so enthralled with what would happen next that the story was nearly read in one sitting. This extraordinary author is one of my favorite and never, ever fails to bring a new exciting story alive with characters I can relate to and a story that possesses a fresh new plot. Keep them coming!!
