Tish Gordon has always been the most stubborn of her sisters, and has worked tirelessly to earn a law degree from her father's alma mater in Chicago.

There is just one minor roadblock - a summer internship as a favor to her future boss. Location: Jalesville, Montana, where a fast-talking company is snapping up acreage and threatening local business. Tish heads west, determined to accomplish the internship and return to Chicago as quickly as possible. But Montana proves to have distractions of its own, catching her quite off guard. Particularly in the form of sexy musician/cowboy Case Spicer, who once told Tish she was the love of his life. As the summer heats to a boiling point, Tish must choose between the life she thinks she wants and the life that just might prove to be what she needs.
