Can a single kiss change the course of her heart? When she’s banished to Philadelphia to learn to behave like a lady, the only good thing is that Poppy Greenleaf won’t have to see the ornery, cocky foreman of her father’s Wyoming ranch, Batt Lupient, every day. As she boards the train to go to her aunt’s, Batt promises he’ll have her back home and married to him by Christmas. Her argument is lost when he suddenly kisses her―a hot, passionate kiss that stays on her mind long after she reaches Philadelphia. One kiss is not enough. That kiss lingers in Batt’s thoughts for the next two years as he works to establish his ranch so he can propose to Poppy. When she returns home, however, her plans don’t include marriage, and most certainly not to him. Still, the attraction between them is palpable. Sparks fly each time they exchange a glance. But the physical allure isn’t enough to build a lifetime together. Is he too late to win her heart?
