New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods sweeps readers away with a beloved story of falling in love when you least expect it...

Stubborn, sexy rancher and single father Chance Adams will do anything to get back his share of the family ranch--even if it means seducing his uncle's ornery stepdaughter, schoolteacher Jenny Adams. Even if it means marrying her. Even if it means falling in love with her?

Jenny always dreamed of finding the perfect man, but perhaps Chance, with his hellion, if lovable, son and his unbending grudge against her family, doesn't exactly fit the bill. She knew he had a one-track mind, all right--but was it just her imagination, or was he starting to get...derailed?

Sometimes, taking a leap of faith is all you need...

Neither Abby nor Seth are looking for forever, but powerful love has its own timetable. And taking a chance on the future will test their courage in ways neither of them could possibly have anticipated.
