Kelsey Brunel knows exactly what the future holds: she'll one day inherit the Arizona dude ranch that has been in her family for three generations. She tells herself that the business and her good friends are all she'll ever want or need. Long-term relationships aren't in the picture, which after witnessing the devastation of her parents' failed marriage, is just fine with her. Elizabeth Sutton has grown up proving to her family that she's as capable and accomplished as they demand her to be, even if that means working for the family business. Her latest assignment, to turn a backwater ranch in Arizona into another link intheir international chain of wellness centers, feels like a demotion and she can't wait to get it done and escape back to civilization. Two women from different worlds have nothing in common and every reason to wish they'd never met--except for the attraction neither can deny.
