Living under the same roof as a hot cowboy with a soft heart and a dirty mouth will be more than this single mom bargained for...

When attorney Ginger Paulson slips head-over-high-heels down a flight of stairs, she has no one to care for her young son until his mentor, rancher Kane McKay shows up to prove chivalry isn't dead. Although wary of Kane's motives, Ginger isn't immune to Kane's sweet-talking charm, his take-charge ways or his steadfast relationship with her son.

For two years Kane has followed the "Little Buddies" mentoring program's cardinal rule-hands off his Little Buddy's mama. But one look at Ginger's bruised body, and Kane is through watching the stubborn woman take care of everyone but herself. The feisty, curvy redhead needs his help and he's ready to give her that and more.

Ginger is aware of Kane's reputation, but she also recognizes him as a fellow lonely soul. The reformed bad boy is raising the stakes to convince Ginger to give them a real chance at love.
