The Lost Springs Ranch for troubled boys is at stake, and it's a man's duty to give back...

Name: Mase LeBow, 34
Occupation: Homicide detective, Denver
Biggest Achievement: Living to adulthood after a too-wild adolescence

Widower Mase LeBow figures Callie Thorne's remote equine therapy ranch is the best place to protect his son. So he's determined to charm her after she "buys" him for a date at the Lost Springs Bachelor Auction. But her insistence on helping his withdrawn boy gets past his defenses...and that can't happen. Falling in love with Callie when he's the star witness in a murder trial would be a huge mistake.
