After four years abroad, Trace MacLeod has returned home to her family's ranch in southeastern Arizona. Everything in her life is going just the way she planned it - a home in London, a brilliant career, and she's practically engaged to a gorgeous English gentleman. But when Trace meets Luke, the cowboy turns her perfect world upside down. He's a wildcard.an unexpected, unpredictable wildcard. Everything about him is virile and sexy, dark and dangerous. Definitely dangerous, and definitely not part of Trace's carefully arranged plans. From the moment Luke sees the sensual strawberry blonde, he knows he's got to have her. Luke is intrigued by Trace's combination of sophistication and innocence, boldness and shyness. Even when Trace tells him she's taken, Luke doesn't let that stop him, because he's determined to make her his.
