"Gabe, you have a daughter."

Six years ago, Gabe Benton left Texas to seek his fortune. The woman he loved and left behind was heartbroken-and fled the state with a secret. She was pregnant with his child.

Now, Gabe is a millionaire ranch owner. And beautiful Maddie Halliday is back-temporarily. The passion between them is still hotter than the Texas sun. But when Gabe proposes for their daughter's sake, Maddie's flat-out no stuns him. Can the man who always gets his way learn to compromise-for the sake of cherished family days and wild Western nights?
