To Wyoming ranch foreman Tucker Gates, the only good owner for the Double Bar X is an absentee one. That's how it had been for 10 years. And now here comes divorcee Jenny Peters. Bringing her two whining, spoiled kids and her city-bred fairy-tale views of life – and love – in Wyoming.

Jenny isn't going to let Tucker scare her away from the new life she wants to build for herself and her kids. No matter that he can be as hard as the mountains around them. No matter that she finds totally unexpected comfort from his rough strength.

But what next? Because Tucker Gates iss a lot of things, but he's absolutely clear that he is not a family man.
