Rancher Wyatt Marshall always does what's right. He raised his three brothers and is currently hosting at–risk teens on his family's ranch. So when Susannah Bradley and her children seek refuge at the Circle M, fleeing an abusive husband, Wyatt immediately invites her into his home… His heart, though, is off–limits.

Susannah is drawn to the stoic cowboy, but the ever–honorable Wyatt keeps her at a distance, refusing to get in the way of Susannah starting a new life. But for the first time, Susannah is free to go after what she really wants…and increasingly what she wants is the life she has on the Circle M–with Wyatt.
