A woman as cold as Texas is hot; a man who has never belonged. Two hard people who will never bend, never yield...but they just might be able to make a deal.

Margaret Caldwell knows what it means to beg. She's been there, done that, won't wear the t-shirt. And, in fact, won't beg again—no matter how desperately her family business needs help. Because she knows what it means to be betrayed. Knows how it feels to have her still-beating heart ripped out of her chest, leaving only an empty hole behind.

The son of a ruthless upstart, Cole Montgomery trampled on everyone and everything on his way to the top—including his one and only friend. He knows Maggie will never forgive him but he'll help her anyway. Because it might be a few years too late but Cole has finally figured out what's important. Now if only he can figure out how to start over.
