After a disastrous ride forces world champion saddle bronc rider Chase Walker back to his family's ranch to recuperate, heโs happy to distract himself for a night with a mysterious, gorgeous woman. It should have just been a one-night stand, but sheโs unforgettable.
Thanks to her cheating ex-fiancรฉ, Ella Slade is done with rodeo cowboys...until she meets a sexy cowboy who catches a thief who stole her purse. What harm can one night of indulgence do? A lot, apparently, because when she arrives at her interview for a ranch manager job, Chase turns out to be her prospective boss. Sheโs adamant she wonโt mix business with pleasure, but Chase suggests a dealโElla takes the job, and they pretend that night never happened.
The longer they work together, the harder it is to pretend. Chase knows heโs falling for his midnight lover, but can he convince Ella to risk her heart again?
