Clayton (Clay) Brodie and Suzette (Susie) Nyland's first meeting didn't go well. She spilled coffee on his jacket, and then they bumped heads reaching down for it. He was annoyed. She didn't want him for a boss, even if he was handsome. Her body's reaction to his nearness and touch worried her. She'd been warned he was a love-them-and-leave-them playboy. Then he kissed her for the first time. Clay knows he wants her, and Susie can't deny him. But he isn't a marrying man, and she is the marrying type of woman. As his assistant, Susie goes to Frontier City with him. She meets Clay's family, and they like her. But when his brothers tease him regarding Susie, Clay says she is only his assistant. Clay keeps Susie on a roller coaster, appearing to care, and then he withdraws. It takes almost losing Susie to make Clay admit he loves her. But will she believe him?
