Can Henry Marshall start–and finish–a forbidden relationship with Angel White that feels oh-so-right when everyone else thinks it's totally wrong? Henry Marshall has always been known as the charismatic cowboy with a knack for getting exactly what he wants. Now determined to shed his playboy image, he's dedicated himself to his apprenticeship at Lone Star, one of the most esteemed boarding stables and ranches in the Three Rivers area. The problem is, Angel has taken over the ranch for her aging father – and Henry accidentally kissed her last year when he found out she chose him as the only apprentice at Lone Star. That kiss was an accident…but he can't stop thinking about it. Angel is drowning under her new responsibilities, and she's never told Henry that she broke up with her boyfriend after he kissed her last year. It was that good of a kiss. When she breaks down in front of Henry, he quickly whisks her away from her workload and provides comfort, safety, and relief – and about the hottest spark Angel has ever felt. She sees a brand new side of Henry when he's not working, and she's surprised when he confesses he's had a crush on her for a while now. But because there's a strict no-dating policy at the ranch, they start a secret, forbidden relationship. To ease her workload and avoid any more break-downs, Angel implements new changes around the ranch, including one that promotes Henry to a better position. And she's going to rewrite the old employee handbook and get rid of that blasted no-dating rule. If their forbidden relationship is exposed, Henry could lose his job and Angel could lose her credibility as Lone Star's owner. Will their forbidden love withstand the scrutiny, or will it cause both of their hearts – and lives – to shatter?
