A cowboy with demons of his own...
Though grateful for the blessing of her daughter, Carissa Lowe has accepted that widowhood is her lot in life. Bound by fear and mistrust, she feels incapable of opening her heart again.
Tyler Atherton has never forgotten Carissa. When he discovers she's living with her sister on a nearby ranch, his life becomes intertwined with the lovely widow's. And Carissa's daughter, Gloria, seems determined to wrap herself around his little finger.

What he doesn't expect, however, is how easily Carissa's daughter wins his heart. Carissa knows that Tyler might make sense in this rough terrain, but making sense isn't enough to convince her to yield her heart once again. Can Tyler catch Carissa's affection?
