Keely Welsh has loved Boone Sinclair since she was thirteen years old. Now nineteen, she refuses to remain the ignored little girl in his eyes. Boone Sinclair commands respect as both a successful executive and Texas rancher. Tall, strong, and handsome, he possesses everything except the one woman who has always fascinated him. He has kept his distance from Keely, convinced that his worldly experience makes him wrong for such an innocent young woman. But Keely has grown tired of being overlooked. She decides to prove she has become a woman capable of claiming his heart. The question remains whether they can move beyond old wounds and allow love to transform their lives. Their age difference and his protective instincts create barriers, but her determination challenges everything he believes about their impossible attraction.
