There's no taming a wild heart . . .

Josie Gresham has no need for another husband. She can handle any of the work on her family's ranch, and no one in miles is better than she is at riding or shooting. When the pastor insists the widows of Last Chance remarry or return East, Josie pointedly ignores him. But her brother George has other ideas . . .

Arlen Thomas is eager to leave his life as a small-town sheriff behind and return to making a living from the land. Marrying a pretty girl to do that isn't anything he'd turn down, so he takes up an offer from Josie's brother to marry her and help run their ranch. But when he arrives, he finds a spitfire of a woman who has no intentions of marrying him--or any man, for that matter.

Arlen is just as stubborn as Josie, however, and as he proves himself an asset to the ranch, she begins to see him as more than just a man her brother roped into coming to Nebraska. But it isn't long before the reason Arlen left his life as a lawman threatens Josie's ranch and George's life. Arlen must face his past, or Josie will have to decide between love and everything else she holds dear.
