Blythe Harper is engaged to a high-rolling real estate broker, until every one of her carefully laid plans goes up in flames. An only child cut off from her parents, when her life in Chicago lights on fire, she finds herself accepting an offer to go back to her childhood sanctuary, a thousand miles away. Hiding out at her uncle's ranch in Montana for a peaceful summer is her new plan-a plan that's totally upended when she meets the farrier for Silo Springs. He's a cowboy in a backward ball cap-tall, dark, handsome, and antagonizingly flirtatious. But Blythe just got rid of a man, and she doesn't need another one. The cowboy can flirt and tease all he wants. She won't fall for a facade like that a second time. Unless, perhaps, it's not a facade at all.
