Love can feel impossible, especially when the whole world has turned its back on you.
Beatrice Sterling is a young widow, her late husband made her tough as nails and cold as ice. She was glad the day he died, and according to everyone in town she is as wicked as they come.
Rufus McCay never stood a chance in this world, a mix breed with a sordid past and the scars to prove it. He has no reason to be alive, but when he answers Beatrice’s add in the paper, neither of them are prepared for what happens next.
While this unlikely pair are stumbling through a ginger footed dance of romance, the local banker has other plans. Will these two be able to endure what Hawkins Hailey has in store, or will that slimey fox finally get what he wants?
