Description

He'll do anything to protect the ones he loves…

Social worker Angela Beck has too much to do to wait around for a cowboy who's all charm and little substance. Setting up her women's shelter means everything to her. Trouble is, she needs the support of Sam Diamond and his family to get the project off the ground. And that means working together…

Sam has always loved a challenge, and the sharp-tongued Angela has him on his toes. As they work together to make the shelter a reality, he discovers the warm, vibrant woman beneath the efficient exterior. She might just be the kind of woman he's been waiting for…

But trusting doesn't come easily to Angela—she's learned to count on herself and not lean on others, especially the sexy rancher with a protective streak. When Angela's painful past resurfaces, Sam knows it's time for him to step up and be the man she needs—and hopefully win her heart.
