...The strongest bonds are the ones unseen.

Businesswoman Skylar Ellison is firmly in control of her life. So getting tangled up with a sexy Wyoming cowboy—and conceiving a baby in the parking lot of a honky-tonk—wasn’t in her plan. Since it appears the daddy has taken off for greener pastures, the only thing to do is pull up her bootstraps and carry on alone.

Cattle rancher Kade McKay returns home after a year on the range, and is knocked for a loop when he learns he’s the father of a three-month-old baby girl. When Skylar refuses to marry him, Kade grits his teeth, moves in and plays house by her rules to prove he’s a man in for the long haul.

Despite Skylar’s insistence they are to remain strictly parenting partners, their old passions flare hot as a brush fire, spurring Kade to demand absolute sexual surrender from the headstrong woman. Skylar willingly submits her body to the hot-blooded cowboy but she’s leery of handing Kade the reins to her heart.

Can Kade convince Skylar the wicked sex games aren’t a temporary distraction? Or will he have to bust out the ropes to show her he wants to be tied to her…forever?

After a lie that has Kade leaving town for several months for family business he comes back to hear he was a little baby daughter (and in the McKay family that is rare). Skylar is upset with Kade but that changes after she sees him with his daughter. Kade not only wants in his daughters life he wants in Skylar's life in a permit way but convincing control freak Skylar is going to be hard but a McKay male is always up for a challenge. If anyone can make control freak Skylar loss control it's Kade with is smoldering kisses and hot touches. Reading about Kade with Elise his daughter is such sweet and touching moments. Skylar is slow to see that Kade isn't like any man she was ever know and give him a chance but she does come around. I think this is one of my favorite books of the series.
