She’s searching for her roots…he’s holding tight to his.

Gemma Sutton has a picture-perfect life, or she will soon. She just has to stick to the plan. Step one is passing Biology. But as an adoptee with sealed records, one genealogy project could bring it all down around her. Determined not to fail again, she sets out to find answers in Sunflower Springs, Oklahoma. What she doesn’t plan to find is a dirty-talking rancher who makes her forget everything she thought she knew.

Real men work hard for what they want, and Brooks Sterling is no different. Since he was big enough to hop in a saddle, he’s had one goal: taking over the family ranch. He refused to let anyone, or anything get in his way. But when an out-of-towner shows up at his parents’ bed and breakfast, he starts to lose his focus. Brooks decides to do whatever it takes to get this woman out of town and off his mind. The problem is, he’s realizing he can’t let her go.
