A sheltered Florida teacher transforms a rugged Arizona rancher into Prince Charming in this classic romance from a New York Times–bestselling author.

When Christy Haley moves to Arizona, she never expects to meet an irascible, yet irresistible, ranch owner. The blonde teacher can't help but be drawn to handsome Nate Lang, who makes it clear he isn't looking for love. But Christy will have to dig a little deeper to find the rancher's true desires . . .

The last thing Nate needs is an East-Coast innocent who doesn't know a cactus from a cornstalk! But Christy has already unearthed his passion . . . and discovered her rugged Westerner is a greenhorn himself—at love.
