An untamable bachelor meets his match in this contemporary Western romance from the USA Today–bestselling author. After a shocking betrayal, Dan Crenshaw left behind his corporate empire to live a solitary life in the Gulf of Mexico. All he wants to do on the small Texas island is keep away from trouble—especially the kind that turns heads in a strapless dress. But his seclusion is shattered by the arrival of Shannon Doyle, his kid sister's friend. Refusing to be broken by a bad relationship, Shannon has decided to follow her heart—and go after the man she's dreamed of since her teens. Soon, the vulnerable beauty is infiltrating Dan's lone existence with caring smiles and home-cooked meals. But Dan has sworn off becoming a family man. And though he dreams of taking Shannon to the depths of passion, his honor wouldn't allow him to take her innocence . . . unless he slipped a ring on her finger. . . .
