Lennox Hayes has always been a spitfire.

She's got a stubborn streak a mile wide, and big dreams of getting back on the pro rodeo circuit. Until then, she's stuck working the family ranch under the watchful eye of Bishop Bryant-the grumpy, no-nonsense foreman who's made it clear he doesn't have time for her wild ways.

Bishop has spent his life proving himself at Black Springs Ranch. The Hayes family took him in when he had nothing, and he owes them everything, including occasionally keeping an eye on their reckless youngest daughter. But Lennox isn't a little kid anymore. She's a fierce, frustrating woman who knows just how to get under his skin.

They've never gotten along, and they've never tried to. But when they are forced to work together, sparks fly and tempers flare. Beneath the arguments and tension lies something neither of them is ready to admit.
