description: Will a child of Society have the backbone to love a tough, wild west cowboy?
  
  For adventurous Margaret Flemming, arrived from Boston to be with her father, the Old West town of her childhood is a far cry from the drawing rooms and balls of the high society life she's used to. Her fancy gowns and proper manners have no place in the dusty, cruel land inhabited by Indians and rough cowboys. And her fiercely independent streak constantly gets her in trouble. When tragedy strikes, there's only one person she can turn to--her childhood friend, Garret Shaw--but he's disgusted with her Society ways.
  
  With his ranch under attack from the land-grabbing Jennings, the last thing Garret needs is to be saddled with a high-falutin' lady. Even if she is his friend's daughter and her kind ways tug at his hardened heart. Duty to her father forces them to wed, but he knows sure as anything, when the chance comes along, she'll go back to Boston. No matter how much he wants her, loving her is not a risk he can take.
  
  Will Maggie choose a life of luxury and ease over struggle and hardship with an ill-mannered cowboy? Only her heart can answer.
  
  CONTENT WARNING: A potty-mouthed proper lady, a reluctant bridegroom and all kinds of trouble.
