She's all alone—and pregnant!

Things have not gone well for Hayley Ryan. Her beloved grandfather is dead. Her no-good ex-husband not only abandoned her for another woman but stole Hayley's inheritance—and left her pregnant. All she has now is a piece of property to camp on—and a secret mine that might or might not produce.

He's a rancher with strong family ties—and he's looking for a wife!

Jake Cooper is part owner of the Triple C Ranch is southern Arizona. Hayley Ryan's site is adjacent to the Triple C. The first time Jake rides into her camp, she points a shotgun at his head—and without even knowing it, takes aim at his heart…

Jake's determined to persuade Hayley to trust him and marry him. As for Hayley's baby-to-be—he'd love the chance to be a dad!
