Sinopse

She?s loved her brother?s best friend since she was sixteen...His best friend?s sister is a thorn in his side...Isa Williams has always been the black sheep of her simple, dirt-farming family.

After several years away from home to earn her degree, Isa plans to spend the holidays with her family before secretly traveling abroad. Her plans are interrupted, however, when her brother?s insufferable best friend insists on chaperoning her from Austin to Dogwood. Before long, the old friends fall back into their childhood habits of bickering and competing.

The bounty hunter knows it?s only a matter of time in her presence before she wheedles every secret, every shame, out of him. She?s too clever, too astute-and more determined than a coonhound with a scent. Keeping her at a distance is difficult with every obstacle that arises during their journey, forcing them together time after time. As they fall back into their old ways of teasing, wrestling, and getting under each other?s skin, Junior experiences the genuine fear that his feelings for her are far from brotherly.He?s left with the choice of honor...or happiness?Passions from the trail are stowed away when they arrive at Dogwood, but the secrets, building emotions, and a threat from Junior?s past are a growing wall between them. No matter how happy Isa makes him, his honor prevents Junior from betraying his best friend.
