"You won't find a mule more stubborn than me, especially when it comes to women." — Rancher Steven Fortune With his prosperous ranch and independence, Steven considers himself a lucky man. He's smart enough to stay far away from love—he's learned it only brings heartache. But then he meets events planner Amy Burke-Sinclair, who has beauty and the brains to match—and is just as cautious as he is. Despite that, she seduces him into a night of passion that leaves him stunned, and ready to admit that perhaps he doesn't have all the answers. When they have to work together on a function honoring patriarch Ryan Fortune, Steven finds himself falling even harder. He soon changes his mind about the benefits of love and commitment...but will Amy change hers?
