Workaholic Camille Ashland is at the top of her game. She has built a thriving business, is raising a lovely daughter, and lives in a newly decorated home. Her life is full until a heart attack and near-death experience change everything.

Scottsdale, Arizona, May 1888. A year and a half after Chaim McCutcheon was essentially left at the altar—for reasons he’s yet to discover—one steadfast aim remains firm in his mind and heart. Never again. He left his home and family, and all he held dear, in Rio Wells, Texas, with the intention not to return until every nuance of Emmeline Jordan had been burned from his soul by the blazing Arizona sun. He’s adjusted to his solitary life on his rustic desert ranch, so different from the sprawling Rim Rock in Texas.

Dustin McCutcheon gets the surprise of his life when he comes face-to-face with Sidney Calhoun, the spitfire offspring of his father's worst adversary. The whole of Texas knows that McCutcheons and Calhouns just don't mix. Period. Yet Dustin is drawn to Sidney. The stirrings of attraction she brings out leave him with a serious decision to make: break the hearts of his family - or break his own. Neither choice is palatable....
