Hope O'Malley, one of country music's most talented divas, is the target of an attempted abduction at her Houston concert. She's saved by Buck Boudry, a big, sexy Cajun wrangler she'd invited to the concert. But the only way they can keep Hope safe is for her and Buck to head out on a wild cross-country trek.
Spending a week in hiding together at a beautiful, remote location, Hope and Buck find solitude, romance, and hot lessons in Buck's sexual dominance that leave them both gasping and wanting more. But when Hope learns that she has accused the wrong people of attempting her abduction, she returns to her life and her career. And Buck returns to his job working with horses while wanting every minute of every day just to be with Hope.
When Hope offers Buck a huge reward, he sees that their lives are too dissimilar for him to even think about a future with her. But when he realizes she was offering him more than just the reward, is it too late for him to be part of Hope's life? And when the real kidnapper tries again, will Hope be lost to Buck forever?
