The story is a spin-off of my book BACK IN HIS ARMS. It's about a big city girl who takes a job on an Oklahoma ranch. She meets and gets temporarily stranded with loner Curt Hayden, the foreman, and a man with a past that has made him wary of love.

 "Ms. Barker strikes gold with this sensitive, yet snappy romance featuring a most memorable pair of lovers." Romantic Times Bookclub 

"A delightful read. Ms. Barker's story is exceptionally well written, and her characters are both fun, and deeply moving. The white-knuckle ending of the book will leave you on the edge of your seat, until you reach the last page and grab the tissue box, and say, "Damn" That was a great book!" I look forward to seeing more novels by this very talented author." Paperback Forum
