Selena, a dual citizenship Mexican/American has been raised in Mexico her whole life.  After losing her family in cartel violence, she braves the border crossing by herself, $25 in her pocket, hoping to find her grandparents in Texas.  Walking, she makes it just outside of Laredo before she is attacked.  A ranch hand finds her, and, thinking she is a boy, takes her to the ranch.  The ranch owner, Travis, recognizes immediately that she is a female.  He takes her into his house, wanting her to rest until she is healed.  Having no money, she soon becomes his housekeeper.  Travis is incredibly attracted to her, but Selena is a virgin, and strict about keeping herself pure until marriage.  Of course, Travis was a champion bull rider, and has lots experience with women giving him what he wants.  Travis is also a very controlling man.  He wants Selena for himself, and hates sharing her attention with the other men.  However, no matter how controlling Travis gets, it never felt like he might harm Selena.Overall, I really enjoyed this love story.  The reader gets to experience the hero and heroine grow and and develop as their love for each other makes them better people.  There are lots of sensuous and sexual scenes that don't involve intercourse, and were really well written.  Later in the book there are also some pretty descriptive intercourse/losing virginity scenes.  It is a decent length, at 2416 kindle locations.I've read two stories by author Lynda Chance, this one andBlackmailed Into Bed (Contemporary Romance).  Both stories contained controlling males, but I strongly preferred Travis, and this love story.
