Then she meets Case Longren, a giant of a man in a black Stetson standing tall beneath the hot prairie sun. Case sees not only the outward scar the accident had left but the deep inner scars she tries to hide, and this makes Lily want to avoid him at all costs.
At first Case doesn't understand why such a beautiful woman would leave the city to cook for two dozen dusty ranch hands in the middle of nowhere. To get to the bottom of this mystery, he'll have to unearth the secrets behind Lily's scars. But the more he learns, the more he wants to help her in whatever ways he can, even if that means losing her back to the big city.
