Piper Gentry is not one to back down from a challenge, not in her international investments company or in her personal life. She tries to make sense of her father's death while trying to find ways to make the family ranch profitable again in the wild heat of a Texas summer. Jackson Knight has always loved Piper Gentry. His challenge is to remind her that she feels the same about him. He'll stop at nothing to keep her near him and safe. Piper's plan does not involve taking orders from anyone, including Jackson. Who will pose the greatest threat to her safety - outsiders eager to get their hands on her family legacy, or Piper herself?
