The cowboy she can't have...is the one she can't resist. Annie Dempsey has two rules for her new life in Devil's Door, Wyoming: no romance and no drama.

But when a charming stranger steps in to protect Annie from a sudden threat, both her rules fly out the door. Because Annie's mystery hero...is a Merrick. Jonah Merrick won't allow anyone--even a Dempsey--to be harmed on his watch. It doesn't hurt that sweet, gorgeous Annie makes his heart beat like never before. Against his family's objections, Jonah insists Annie hide out with him at his ranch while they try to outwit a dangerous pursuer. But as the days turn into weeks, Jonah realizes he'll stop anyone who tries to harm Annie ...or the loving future they're building together.
