It was like nothing would ever come her way until the day Garrett Steele walked into the stampede. There in the mist of utter confusion and chaos stood the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. To her surprise and delight he was heading for her father's ranch.

To Garrett's surprise the rowdy young boy was really the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Garrett Steele had come to the Circle M ranch to inform James McCuan that he was moving in since Jamie's brother did hold the deed to the ranch and since his parents were killed, Garrett was the guardian of his young sister Maddie. Let's say it was not a happy family reunion and from the start James was determined to get Garrett and his sister off his ranch and out of the territory. What he didn't plan on was that his plain daughter Charlie would start to have the fool notion that this man or any man for that matter would even look at her more than once. But look at her Garrett did and he soon wanted to show this woman, who had no idea the effect she had on him, that she was a desirable woman whom he had fallen in love with.

Love was there for both of them yet there were a few obstacles in their path before it truly bloomed. A real page-turner and a love story that one never will tire of. I loved the character of Charlie and all readers will fall in love with her spirit and down to earth quality. Saddle up and join Charlie and Garrett and enjoy how two people destined to be together find a love that not even time or old memories can take away.
