When St. Louis nurse Shannon Johnson inherits a cabin in Texas, she hopes it will be the perfect getaway from her high-pressure job--and her low-energy love life. Unfortunately, the place is a rundown shack with no electricity...except for the sizzling sparks that fly when she meets Matt Taggart, the big strapping rancher next door.

He's convinced Shannon only wants a piece of his ranch. But when he challenges her to help him work the land, Matt begins to see Shannon for who she really is. And soon those sparks are igniting a fire they can't put out...
