As the stoic yet handsome heir to eighty percent of the land in Jackson town, John Horton owns almost all of the most beautiful, priceless and refined possessions available in the wild west that is apart from the one possession he was promised as a child but denied as a grown man. Penny Adams is without a doubt the most beautiful thing John has ever seen, as a young girl she was promised to him as his wife in exchange for a considerable payment of land and goods to her farther to help his struggling ranch business get back on its feet. A price John is more than willing to cash out… There just one problem… Penny's as wild and as unpredictable as the untameable stallion John loves so fiercely in his barn and to his horror and abject frustration, in order to escape their arranged marriage… Penny's run away. When Penny Adams ran away from home to get out of marrying the man she's been promised to her whole life, she had no idea of the lengths he'd go to find her and make her pay for running off alone. Now on the run from her overbearing husband to be and lost in a small ghost town somewhere in the wild west, Penny has no choice but to quickly shuck off the confines of her prim and proper upbringing and learn to fend on her own. That is at least until the quiet yet fiercely possessive man who insists on her husband and MASTER finds her and brings her home!
