Luke Rivers is a guy of his word.

He agrees to marry Kate Logan when she foolishly proposes to him-after a glass of champagne too many-at her former fiancé’s wedding ceremony reception. And Luke, persistent rancher that he is, won’t renege on his guarantee.

Kate was devastated when the man she’d always loved married an other woman, a newcomer to their Oregon city. But now, not merely does Luke refuse to break their engagement, he insists that Kate doesn’t love Clay-she actually loves him!
