Stonewater, Wyoming, 1878
When Leona Ellsworth and her four sisters arrive at the ramshackle ranch they've pinned all their hopes on, they're certain of only one thing: they're in way over their heads.
Then they meet the Bannister brothers.
Jack Bannister and his four strapping siblings own the big cattle ranch next door, and they're not the kind of men who can stand by and watch five women struggle alone. Before long, the sound of hammers and wagon wheels fills the Ellsworth yard, and the wreck of a homestead begins to look like something a woman might actually be proud of.
But it isn't just the ranch that's catching Leona's eye.
Tall, broad-shouldered, and steady as the Wyoming mountains, the neighbouring cowboy is everything Leona has ever quietly dreamed of. But Leona has a sharp tongue and a stubborn streak a mile wide, and when she sasses Jack one time too many, she discovers the soft-spoken cowboy believes very firmly in discipline.
What truly surprises her isn't ending up over his knee. It's how much she liked it.
Jack has never met a woman like Leona. Sweet as honey, fiery as a summer storm, and tailor-made for life on his ranch. So he does what any sensible cowboy would do.
He asks her to be his wife.
But not everyone in Stonewater is pleased about the Ellsworth sisters' arrival. The Galloway twins, beautiful, spoiled, and venomous Maria and Dakota, have had their claws set in the Bannister brothers for years, and they have no intention of letting five wholesome newcomers waltz in and steal what they consider rightfully theirs.
Can Leona curb her temper before she finds herself back across Jack's knee?
And more to the point…
Does she really want to?
