Candace McClosky thought the billionaire tycoon actually loved her and would help her save her family's ranch. She fancied herself in love for the first time in her life.

She was a fool.

Now she's stuck with even more problems and, as the oldest, she feels responsible for helping her sisters and saving their ranch.

So...she comes up with a desperate plan and pitches it to an even more desperate cowboy.

Jefferson Connelly is happy his brother fell in love, but he isn't interested in having his life upended by matters of the heart.

When a woman he barely knows makes him the craziest offer he's ever heard of he's at the point in his life where he finds himself actually thinking it might not be a bad deal. And he's willing to do a good deed.

For a ranch.

He wasn't expecting God to use a tiny baby and a sullen teen to teach him the eternal lessons he needed in order to be a good husband.

Will he allow God's refining fire to make him better? Or will he become bitter?
