Grumpy Cowboy meets Texas Sunshine . . .
Sunshine Whitlock has spent her entire life hiding the pain of her childhood beneath a bright smile and the serene country landscapes she paints. No one knows the daredevil wild child beneath Sunny's sunny disposition . . . until she lies to help out a young teenager and ends up tangling with the girl's tall, dark, and grumpy guardian. Reid Mitchell sees right through Sunny's façade and doesn't like what he sees-a spoiled, little rich girl who has her two brothers and the entire town of Wilder, Texas, eating out of her hand. Too bad, Sunny really likes what she sees-the kind of tough, hardworking cowboy who can give a woman exactly what she needs: free-rein to be who she is, a wild ride she'll never forget, and a love that will last a lifetime.
Reid Mitchell doesn't like chaos. His dream is to own a ranch out in the middle of nowhere and spend his days watching cattle graze as the sun slowly inches its way across a bright blue Texas sky. But when his sister passes away and leaves him custody of his niece, that dream blows away in the wind. Now he has a belligerent teenager to raise, a new job as ranch manager for the Holiday Ranch, and his boss's little sister chasing after him. Sunny is the definition of chaos and he wants no part of her crazy plans to help him raise his niece. No part of her late-night skinny-dipping parties. And no part of her hot, sweet kisses that make a man forget about what he's lost and only see what he has . . . a chance at the perfect chaotic life with a woman who can turn rain into sunshine.
