Synopsis
Librarian Callie Barnes is dreaming of a relaxing girls' weekend, picturing good books, quiet, and maybe one too many cocktails, when her friends pull up to a dude ranch instead of the spa she was promised. She vows to leave after a single night, until she discovers the ranch belongs to Wes Braden, the sinfully rugged rancher who has starred in her late-night fantasies. Wes can hardly believe his luck when the sweet, bookish librarian from his own hometown turns up on his land, and the attraction between them runs white-hot from the very first encounter. He is more than happy to coax Callie out of her chick-lit comfort zone and into a world of very real passion. There is a catch, though: Callie ties intimacy to love and is not built for anything casual, while Wes guards his freedom and dodges commitment at every turn. As their weekend fling threatens to become something far more serious, both have to decide whether to protect their hearts or risk everything on a love that caught them completely off guard. It is a steamy small-town romance about a cautious romantic and a commitment-shy cowboy who may want the same thing after all.
