A sharp, emotional novel about a tough-minded bar owner who makes a deal with a devil of a cowboy -- and might just get burned...

Moving to Montana to buy a dive bar with her two best friends sounds like a can't-miss idea to Charly Henwood. The scenery is breathtaking, and the cowboys even more so. Not that Charly's interested. Her heart is as unmovable as the surrounding mountains, thanks to her cheating ex.

Making her bar, The Naked Moose, a success is Charly's only priority. But it turns out the regulars don't take kindly to outsiders swapping their craft beer for an extensive cocktail menu. One regular in particular is not happy -- The Naked Moose's previous owner, Jaxon Reed. The last thing Charly needs is a cocky cowboy telling her how to run her bar, or her life. But maybe she can use Jaxon to her advantage. If he'll agree to be the prize in a charity auction, Charly will make the bar a little more cowboy-friendly.

When that plan backfires, Charly finds herself doing battle with the biggest temptation in Timber Falls. A man who has made it his mission to win her, using every infernal means at his disposal. And if her resolve goes up in flames, her heart is sure to follow.
