Lady Taylor Stapleton's world was crumbling. She had been betrayed and publicly humiliated by her fiancé. Now, with the help of her beloved grandmother, Lady Ester, Taylor is about to pull off the shocker of the season.

Taylor agrees to marry handsome American Lucas Ross, a rugged, independent American, and together they plan to leave England behind forever. Once they get to America, they will go their separate ways...Taylor to Boston, Lucas to his Montana ranch...or so they believe.

They have been thrown together by mutual need. Lucas and Taylor could not have come for more different worlds: his, the wide-open skies of Montana territory, and hers, the restrictive, proper London drawing rooms. They have only one thing in common. They will do anything to protect the innocents who depend on them.

About the Author: With tens of millions of books in print and numerous New York Times bestsellers, Julie Garwood has clearly earned a position among America's favorite fiction writers. Her reputation as a masterful storyteller is solidly founded in her ability to deliver stories with appealing characters, powerful emotions, and surprising plot twists. Readers claim that it's the humor as well as the poignancy of her novels that keep them laughing, crying and thoroughly entertained.

Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Ms. Garwood attributes much of her success to growing up in a large family of Irish heritage. "The Irish are great storytellers who relish getting all the details and nuances of every situation. Add in the fact that I was the sixth of seven children. Early in life I learned that self-expression had to be forceful, imaginative and quick," says Ms. Garwood.
