A tough sheriff who won't let anyone in. A charitable nurse who's secretly loved him for years. Thrown together for her protection, will she dare admit how she feels?

Sheriff Clint Coleville, ‘the walking billboard of manly cowboy heroism’, keeps everything close to his vest. Nobody in the world knows that his heart truly belongs to Lily Lillywhite. Not only is Lily off-limits because of his own pledges, she dated his brother for thirteen years. When Lily is threatened and needs Clint's protection, Clint vows to keep her safe. But no matter how mesmerizing she is, he won't admit he’s in love with her. It's a bucket full of no for him.

Lily Lillywhite, a kind nurse, has secretly longed for Sheriff Clint Coleville for years. Despite the obvious chemistry and draw between them, Clint has made it clear that a relationship between them is not going to happen. When Lily's house is broken into and she has to fake an engagement to Clint for her safety, she has no idea how her heart will survive being stuck together. Every minute spent with him makes her fall harder, but this closed-off cowboy sheriff will never love her.

The more time Clint and Lily spend together, the more right it feels to be together. Can Clint find a way to be loyal to his promises, and to his own heart? Can Lily convince him to try?
