A down on her luck, single boy mom and a handsome, untrusting rancher meet in a diner. No, this isn't the start of a joke, it's their life. Offering her a job without knowing her qualifications might not have been the greatest idea, but at least she wouldn't be working for the town's most troublesome resident anymore. All the excuses in the world weren't enough, knowing her son wasn't happy and her pocketbook was empty. What choice did she have but to say yes? What happens when the quick witted mom goes toe to toe against the set in his ways cowboy? Will one of them come out on top or will love win in the end?

She's been gone for five years, life hasn't been easy. He's avoided relationships and focused on the ranch. They'd been good together once, could it happen again?

All Griffin Harp has ever wanted was serenity, but apparently that’s hard to find. When someone’s trying to sabotage the Flying Diamond Five Ranch, it’s up to him and his business partners to pull from their past to protect their future. Add in a nurse who walked into his life and turned it upside down when she saw through his facade in mere minutes, he comes up with a plan that moves her into his house, and he can’t deny that he’s grateful for her help. The single mother, who's been struggling to support her hearing impaired son, is in danger herself, and Griff vows to protect them both. Maybe what he’s wanted all these years isn’t actually what his heart desires.
