Drew is a wrangler on the Double Horseshoe Ranch.
Denise is a waitress but needs more income to pay the bills and care for little Willow. So, when she sees a great opportunity being the cook on the Double Horseshoe Ranch, she takes it.
I liked the slow relationship between Drew and Denise. I admired Drew because in spite of his terrible childhood, he became an honorable man.
I absolutely loved little Willow; she is so cute and innocent that made me smile.
This was another sweet book by Debra Chapoton. I do really like her books.
