I'll admit, I made more than my fair share of stupid decisions, but all it took was an accidental felony and a teensy kitchen fire to turn my life upside down.

When my parents cut me off, selling my swanky Los Angeles apartment and shipping me off to some ranch in the middle of nowhere to teach me a lesson, I thought it was the worst thing that could happen to me.

Then I got to Safe Haven Ranch and met my new boss.

Zach Paulson is an older, grumpy cowboy who thinks I'm nothing more than a spoiled princess and doesn't want me on his turf. He also happens to be drop-dead gorgeous, and can wear a faded pair of Wranglers better than any other man alive.

The dumbest thing I can do is fall into lust with the temperamental rancher. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly known for making good choices.

But I'm determined to do better this time. I want to prove to myself and everyone else that I'm more than the shallow, self-absorbed socialite I've been playing at for years. I have a plan. Keep my head down, do my work, and don't make any mistakes.

The problem is, I'm not the only one with a crush, and all my defenses are useless against a man like Zach when he puts his mind to getting what he wants.
