The last thing Joe Tharp expects to find out in the woods in Northern Texas is a girl like Pip. All she needs is a little help from him, and while she's cagey about why she needs it, Joe can't stop thinking about her or keep from doing what is best for her even if that means throwing her over his knee for a little lesson in manners. When she tries to make off with his horse, what she really steals is his heart.
Pip's plans take a twist when she meets the implacable Joe, but she doesn't let a little thing like the truth daunt her. She's out to prove a point, and come what may, she's ready to do whatever it takes to make her own way in the world without the help of her family. When will her past catch up to her? What will she do when it does? And what will she do with the cowboy who's right there beside her every step of the way?
