When Cassandra Dalton's uncle dies, he leaves her with not only the burden of overseeing his vast sheep ranch, but with the legacy of a town's hatred as well. So when she enlists a local rancher for help, she can't help but question his true intentions.

When the hardened Shane Lance offers to help Cassandra maintain her land, he never imagined he would want her as much as he wants her inheritance. But as the heated blaze of longing begins to consume them both, Shane must decide which he'll try to claim first--her land, or her heart.
