There's no time for love when you're only passing through town...is there?
When Rihanna Richards takes a job as the new bank manager in Pelican's Heath, she is relieved to leave her life in the city behind, especially with all the pitiful expressions of those who are only too aware of how Phil Cartwright dumped her shortly before their wedding.
Ace Blenheim, the new foreman at the Shearer Ranch, also came to the town to put his past break-up behind him.
When the two meet, sparks fly. It seems they both have a tendency to wind each other up, and neither is willing to back down. Rihanna's stubbornness and Ace's knack for making assumptions lead to a very fiery relationship.
Ace gradually learns a little about his beautiful nemesis, though, and softens his approach toward her. After all, he can't deny how he has begun to feel about her.
Rihanna secretly has feelings for the gorgeous cowboy but can't afford to let her heart get broken again-and, besides, she's not planning to stay long in Pelican's Heath.
Rihanna discovers that something is very amiss at the bank, and when her life is at stake, will anyone care enough to come to her rescue? And has Ace overstepped the mark completely when he delves into her past?
