"I can’t believe I’m back in this godforsaken town." Katie Barton once swore she'd never return to the small town of Kauri Creek - the only place that's ever felt like home. But when her life falls apart and her best friend needs her help running the Wildflower Ridge ranch, that's exactly where she finds herself: in the local bar, in a town she hates. A one-night fling with cocky cowboy, Dallas is just the thing to cheer her up about her whole situation. A bit of fun, then she'll hopefully never have to see him again. Until she arrives at her new job and finds out Dallas is her brand new boss. Not only that, she just broke his number one rule in regards to his adorable five-year-old daughter and he hates her for it. Returning to Wildflower Ridge was supposed to be a short-term escape from the drama of her real life, but now she has to salvage a working relationship with Dallas, while battling the intense attraction between them and the memories of that one night.
