Anxious for adventure and the chance to prove she's not the spoiled socialite her friends and family believe her to be, Victoria Moore buys The Circle Cat ranch, rolls up her sleeves, and begins the repairs that will turn the ramshackle place into the best dude ranch in Arizona. One thing she didn't plan on was a dark, down-on-his-luck cowboy smashing into her barn. But when he does, she turns the problem into an opportunity. Armed with limited experience, but a lot of determination, Victoria sets out to get what she wants from the wandering cowboy.The last thing Lang Thompson wants is to get tangled up with a woman. Especially one who's used to getting what she wants when she wants it. He knows what rich girls like her expect and he isn't interested in playing games. But he's no match for Victoria's hardworking determination and sexy brand of innocence.
