Unlike his brothers, Clayton Mathis isn't looking for the woman of his dreams. He works hard, plays harder, and enjoys every minute of it. And with his family preparing to expand Shadow Maverick Ranch, settling down is the last thing on his mind-until a sexy blonde makes him an offer he can't refuse. Of all the men in the bar, Ainsley Russell has to go and proposition the one man who will cause her nothing but trouble. The Mathis family has been persistent in their bid to buy her property. Inheriting her uncle's ranch has given her the first home she's ever known ... along with a mountain of debt that threatens to take it all away. After learning Clay's identity, Ainsley can't run fast enough. Or far enough ... since the gorgeous cowboy shows up on her doorstep the next morning, looking to pick up where they left off the night before...
