Jim Morgan was a rancher who had a problem, but it had nothing to do with animals and everything to do with a woman. He and Julie Bradley had grown up on adjacent properties. No matter how many times they butted heads and tempers flared, there had always been sparks between them. Confused by the attraction to a man she'd been constantly on edge with and a future she hadn't planned, Julie ran away to escape conflict. Traveling around the world did nothing to lessen the attraction when she returned and passion flared. Julie thought she was older and wiser, but lust was turning to love. Maybe the time had come to stop running away and face the man she'd loved for a long time.
