Love is the last thing either of them wants. But it might be the only thing that can save them both.

Event planner June Cartwright dreams of escaping the family business to start her own. She's thrilled when her friend Callie asks her to help plan a fundraiser to save her fiance's family ranch. For June, it's a chance to build her resumé. And, surprise! Callie's brother-in-law happens to be Sterling Wilder, the scowling-but-gorgeous hero who stepped in during her disastrous airport incident on the way to Arizona.

Sterling Wilder has spent the past five years harboring a huge secret and avoiding his family. Fate has forced him back, temporarily, to help save his childhood home from foreclosure. Meeting June at the airport is pure luck; one night he'll remember forever. But he certainly doesn't want her tangled up in the mess that is his family. First chance he gets, he's going back to his life away from the ranch-alone.

Their chemistry undeniable, Sterling realizes he could fall in love, and June reaffirms that she wants so much more than what her parents envision for her future.

But ghosts from Sterling's past, and June's obligations to her own family, threaten to undermine the success of the fundraiser and tear apart what they're both working so hard for-including their fledgling relationship.
