When a fire destroyed everything Maddie Brooks owned, rancher Trey Walker offered the pretty veterinarian a place to stay at 2 Hope Ranch. Maddie was sweet and sexy, and had "keeper" written all over her. But Trey didn't dare act on the lightning attraction between them — because of the Walker Curse.

Trey came from a long line of men who broke women's hearts. And he was determined not to break hers, too. But with Maddie sleeping next door, she was impossible to ignore. He wanted to hold her, feel her body against his. He knew Maddie was the last woman on earth he should fall for.

Walker Curse be damned.
