Tillie Buchanan is not like those floofy girls in town. Marriage doesn't interest her, and neither do most of the men she knows. All she's ever wanted to do is manage Buchanan Hollow, the ranch she runs because her Pops is too lazy to care. Or so she thought. Because her father just hired a dad-blasted city slicker who has no place on a ranch. If it's the last thing she does, she's going to get rid of him. The fact that the stranger is darkly handsome and mysterious is irrelevant.

When Dr. Eli Knight is called in to save the life of a gangster's dying son, he never expects that he'll end up fleeing for his life...to Texas, of all places. He certainly never imagined he'd end up working for Tillie Buchanan, the orneriest woman in Texas. But ornery or not, he finds her ambition, her intelligence and the freckles on her nose fascinating. But even more fascinating is what Tillie does when her father announces she has sixty days to get married or she loses the ranch.

Tillie isn't a girl to take orders lying down, especially from her lazy, no-good Pops. If the men of Texas want to win her hand, and her ranch, they'll have to compete in a knight's quest. Unfortunately for those poor men, Tillie has a trick or two up her sleeve.
