Anything can happen at Marietta’s 85th Copper Mountain Rodeo.
Ansley Campbell is used to being the only daughter in a family of overbearing men. When her cranky, ailing uncle at Cold Canyon Ranch needs someone to help care for him, Ansley is volunteered against her will. As a self-taught artist, her family has never taken her seriously and assumes she’s always available. Ansley dreams of opening her own gallery one day, maybe even in Marietta. But her plans are thrown off course when she meets Rye Calhoun.
Professional rodeo cowboy Rye is a confirmed bachelor, but he may have finally met his match in beautiful Ansley. After the rodeo ends, Rye’s determined to take Ansley with him—after a trip to the altar, of course.
Despite the intense sparks, Ansley is resolved to keep her distance. Marriage and babies are the last thing on her mind, even if it would be with the most irresistible man she’s ever met. Rye’s never encountered a challenge he couldn’t win, but convincing Ansley to be with him is proving to be the hardest one yet.
