Shawna inherited the job of ranch foreman and has worked hard to prove herself to the men. The Rolling Hills Ranch is the only real home she has ever known. Life is good… until a spotless GQ businessman shows up at Thanksgiving to announce that he has purchased the ranch. The coldâ€"hearted basâ€"â€" plans to upset everything by selling it to one of the big ranching corporations asap. And he won't listen to a word she says.
Cade bought the ranch with no intention of even seeing it before he sold it again, but a friend talked him into going there first. From the second he introduced himself to the pintâ€"sized, contrary blond, his life was turned upside down. He'd never met a woman with half her boldness or a quarter of her sass. Or a woman more in need of a bottom warming.
The awful man had actually spanked her during their first meeting, and then called her a Drama Queen for complaining. All she wants now is to find a miraculous way for her and her rodeo buddies/ranch hands to buy the ranch and be forever rid of the too darn handsome Cade Calloway.
Cade left the ranch feeling more challenged than he had in a long time. As hard as he tries, he can't get Shawna out of his thoughts. He wants her, any way that he can have her. A goal setter, he decides to make her his by Valentine's Day.
