The rancher and the librarian... He was wide-open spaces, solitude and strength - the kind of man to set women's hearts aflutter. She was a small-town girl who never dreamed she'd end up marrying a rancher. But if Catrina thought that Zade Mackensie's marriage proposal was the answer to those dreams, she was mistaken.

Catrina loved Zade enough to take a chance on marrying him. Now all she had to do was melt his resistance to romance.
