Lizzy Logan has every right not to trust men, but why throw out the whole barrel of apples if only one is rotten? With one twirl on the dance floor, Toby Dawson has her ready to forget her ex-boyfriend blues and jump back in the saddle again. She has no illusions about the new cowboy over on the Lucky Penny Ranch, though: Toby's a player through and through. And for three weeks, she experiences some hot cowboy nights that come close to burnin' down the whole town of Dry Creek, Texas. But Toby will never be the one to give her a husband and family, and that's what Lizzy so desperately wants.

Toby never considered himself the settling-down type. But when Lizzy breaks off their fling just as they get to the good parts, he can't help reconsidering. The last thing he wants is a commitment-minded woman, but suddenly his whole world has been turned upside down and inside out. And he'll do whatever it takes to convince Lizzy that her luck with men is about to change...
