Haunted by the suicide of a one-night-stand and the recent death of his troubled mother, Lucky Masters has sworn off women. He's just no good for them. But when sweet little Cammie May makes an aggressive move he never saw coming, his willpower takes a fatal hit.

Afraid time is running out, Cammie is determined to show Lucky he's worthy of love. In return, she wants only his love and support--but the reason she needs him could scare the relationship-shy cowboy away for good.

When her secret comes out, Lucky will realize the price of falling too deep. Will he run away? Or stand up and be the hero she needs?
