On Ronan Thatcher's first week in Montana, he spots the most beautiful woman in the world. Love at first sight? Nah. He doesn't believe in love. But he wouldn't mind a date or two with the local beauty. Ronan is the type of man who gets what he wants, and he wants Larke Hale. Except Calamity's sweetheart has sworn off men. The last time Ronan was rejected was, well . . . never. Yet Larke dismisses him without even batting those pretty brown eyes. Bruised ego in check, he's about to walk away when a teenager marches into his office and asks to hire Ronan as her lawyer. Something about a bad grade and a ruined grade point average that will inevitably destroy her future. He's about to lecture the kid for being melodramatic until he learns that the teacher she wants to sue is Larke. Suddenly this frivolous lawsuit seems like a bright idea. Ronan wants Larke's attention and this is guaranteed to snag it. So let the brawl begin.
