hará que se despierten en ella sentimientos y emociones difíciles de controlar. Amor y pasión en un nuevo romance histórico de Ana F. Malory. Eve descubrirá que su compañero de viaje hacia una ansiada y nueva vida puede ser alguien agradable y atento que hará que se despierten en ella sentimientos y emociones difíciles de controlar. Rayen McGhee está acostumbrado a llevar una vida tranquila, dedicada a su familia y al trabajo en su rancho de Great Falls, pero desde su viaje a Helena, Montana, y más concretamente, desde que conoció a Evelyn Grey, esa tranquilidad ha desaparecido por completo. La mujer es muy torpe y viajar con ella pondrá a prueba algo más que la paciencia del ranchero, que no tardará en darse cuenta de que la maestra posee carácter, determinación... y unos preciosos ojos verdes en los que no había reparado en un principio. Para Evelyn, haber conseguido el empleo de maestra significa alcanzar un sueño, lograr la estabilidad y la independencia que ansía desde hace años. Tener que viajar con un completo desconocido de escasos modales no le supondrá un problema; se siente demasiado feliz para permitir que los convencionalismos o alguien como el señor McGhee le estropeen el momento. Pero descubrir que su compañero de viaje puede ser agradable y atento despertará el interés de Eve, que, sin poder evitarlo, se sentirá atraída por el apuesto ranchero de ojos azules...
