Allie sets out for the big city with Sten, only to learn that the fast pace of the city was more than she'd bargained for.
After her hard breakup with Sten, Allie swore off men forever, but that was before her eyes spotted Cord, the dashing, somewhat aggravating cowboy, who owned the ranch across the street. A man she’d known for most of her life, but had somehow overlooked. Allie’s attentions became obsessed with Cord, and it frustrated her that she couldn’t capture his attention... but then she did, finding herself totally taken in by his good looks and charming ways.
Unbeknownst to Allie, Cord had loved her for many years, and though the thought of having her love him, thrilled him, he was afraid of it. Allie had always followed another calling, and he feared his settled ways wouldn’t be enough to keep her attention.
After a few months without her, Sten decided he wanted Allie back, driving back to the place he hated, to bring her home, and learning of her involvement with Cord only enhanced his desires, but after seeing Allie in Sten’s arms, Cord vowed out, knowing he could never trust her.
Fate stepped in-in a hard way, inevitably disrupting everyone’s plans.
