Rodeo cowboy Chase Thatcher knows his mother deserves to have romance in her life. Just not . Not so soon after his father's death. Plus, the man she met while traveling just seems...shady. So it only makes sense to hire an investigator and dig up whatever dirt he can on the guy. What he never expected to find, however, was the man's fiery and entirely too beautiful daughter. . .Renata Ricci isn't exactly thrilled with her estranged father's new love affair, either. The last thing she needs is some gold-digger stealing her family's money. She'll put an end to this nonsense if it's the last thing she ever does. If only she could focus and keep her mind off the fiercely loyal and distractingly handsome Chase. . .It's not long before Chase and Renata realize there's more between them than they ever would've thought possible. But can they overcome the secrets and lies their relationship was built on to find their way to happily ever after? Or are they destined to go their separate ways?
