As CEO of the family bank in Grosse Point, Michigan, widowed Barbara Sinclair is an accomplished, successful woman...until her daughter's tragic death leave her totally alone. Determined to bring her five-year-old granddaughter Emily home from her in-laws in Montana, Barbara flies west...and meets the biggest challenge of her life: Emily's equally determined widowed grandfather, Sam Douglass. Ruggedly handsome, a mixture of granite wall and powder keg, Sam's not about to let Emiloy leave his ranch for a pampered frivolous existence. Sparks fly... and the battle lines are drawn. But there's more going on between Barbara and Sam than a custody battle. Long-buried desires surface, then gentle affection. A shared joke—then a shared kiss. And once awakened, love cannot be ignored—no matter how hard they try. It seems there are a few things a savvy Michigan banker and a wise Montana rancher have to learn for the second time. And soon it's clear that Sam and Barbara are ready to learn...to love again.
