Cecily's Blake's life as a pampered princess has left her ill prepared to take over her family's Montana ranch. But that's exactly what happens when her father is sent to prison. Destitute and desperate, Cecily must give up her dreams and her future to try and learn how to turn a profit. The last thing she needs is to fall in love, and certainly not with a neighbor she's known all her life. Marcus Henshaw is too old, too rich, too handsome, and too unavailable. In short, he's the worst possible choice for her at the worst possible time.

Marcus has a different opinion, though. He doesn't see his age, his wealth, or his longtime girlfriend as an obstacle between them. He has always gotten whatever he wanted, at least until he decided he wanted Cecily. Who would have thought the flighty girl he watched grow up would turn out to be the most captivating woman he ever met? And who would have believed that someone so close could be so out of reach? As he tries to convince Cecily to give their rocky romance a chance, someone unexpected starts throwing obstacles in their path, making them wonder if getting what they wish for might be the worst mistake of their lives.
