But no matter how much she wants to give in to Eva's seduction, one mantra lurks in the back of her mind: Never date a billionaire! Until the one night she does give in, anyway. Then everything goes to hell. EVA Life as a billionaire heiress isn't all sunshine and kitty whiskers, especially if that heiress is Eva Warren.

Local rancher Tess doesn’t have time for women who aren’t her type, and new-girl-in-town Sidney isn’t interested in someone who only sees her as a piece of fresh meat.

It’s going to take more than nerves of steel to survive the isolationism and people with nothing better to do than ruin their neighbors’ lives. It’s going to take a whole lotta introspection – and love. (And no-holds-barred carnality. Let’s be real.)
