She wasn't expecting a second chance... Trish Cassidy is an easygoing woman with a goal: to manage her own horse ranch. But after her parents' death, she finds herself stuck with a dominating boyfriend who has probably just ruined her last chance to connect with the local ranchers. Just when she thinks she must give up on her dream, the enigmatic Dalton James, a modern-day cowboy, steps into her life, offering an opportunity to build a ranch from the ground up. What she doesn't expect is her powerful attraction to her new boss-or how controlling he starts to become. He wasn't looking for love... When Dalton James decided to build his horse ranch, the last thing he anticipated was saving a damsel in distress. Then again, Trish Cassidy isn't someone who needs saving. So why is he so protective of her, especially when her ex shows up and wants a second chance with her? More importantly, why does he feel like he has to do the right thing around her, even when she doesn't want him to? Corrissa James offers steamy romantic stories with intelligent women and modern-day cowboys in her Great Plains Romance series.
