Though known to millions as a ""cowboy's cowboy,"" city slicker and famous western writer Matt Montana had never actually even ridden a horse. When hit with writer's block, he decided to find his muse by secretly getting his first real western experience at the Rocky K Ranch in Colorado. But when he met Jamie Kimball, the rancher's daughter, she turned out to be a real burr in this macho man's saddle.

Back in the days when men were men, women weren't like Matt's sassy, sexy trail guide. First, Jamie assigned him a homicidal horse. Then she snickered at his run–ins with small, crazed wildlife.

But worst of all, her long–legged charms tempted this lone desperado to open his heart and learn how to love. And Montana began to believe this was how the West was really won.
