Her father, rancher Archibald Burnett, is dying, and she's determined to marry to protect the ranch and preserve her father's legacy in Montana's rugged Paradise Valley. The trouble is, she wants to wear the boots in the family and the man she has in mind, Irishman Thomas Sheenan would never stand for that.Independent and taciturn Thomas Sheenan isn't looking for a wife, having spent far too much of his life taking care of others. He's come to Montana to carve out his own identity, and be his own man. The last thing he needs is a headstrong bride, but when Ellie approaches him with the offer of a lifetime, he can't refuse.Thomas didn't anticipate falling for his new bride. He moved to Montana to stake his claim...he never planned on losing his heart.
