A
year after being laid off from the Smithsonian, Lindsey Simms says yes to a job
offer as curator of a heritage museum in Thistle Bend, Colorado (population
1,519). It could be worse - and it is. Because the new museum has escalated a
dispute between the Karlssons, Lindsey’s relatives, and the Crenshaws, a blood
feud which goes way back to a land deal that changed the fortunes of both
families. Trying to stay objective, Lindsey can’t tell anyone about her
conflict of interest - especially not the ruggedly handsome handyman fixing up
her cabin, who seems to be keeping secrets of his own.
Although he’s the executive director of the family trust and one of Colorado’s most eligible bachelors, Carden Crenshaw prefers getting his hands dirty in town and on his sprawling ranch. Staying busy has given him an excuse not to risk heartbreak, but getting to know the beautiful “museum lady” makes him reconsider. Little does he know, the heat between them will only add fuel to the fire - unless this unlikely couple can prove they’re lovers, not fighters.
