Friendships and reputations are on the line, and heartbreak is inevitable.

Regina Beckett is no damsel in distress and she certainly isn't looking for a husband. For the last few years, she's stayed just ahead of her parent's matrimonial expectations. But now, an unwanted proposal threatens her freedom, so she decides to make a marriage proposal of her own.

John Kingston has always been a ladies' man and one of Durango's most eligible bachelors. He has no plans to shackle himself to a wife—not if he can't have the one woman he's always wanted. But, when that very woman makes an unexpected proposition, can he convince his heart not to get involved? Probably not, but he's going to do everything he can to convince her to stay.

Can Regina resist John's tempting good looks knowing it would be the ruin of their lifelong friendship? Her head says yes, but her heart isn't quite so sure.
