<p>Marine Logan Hughes uses humor like a shield because the twists and turns his life has taken have led him far from the path he was supposed to tread. He's no priest and despite his parents' continued hope he has no desire to become one. Still he's no devil either. So when his attempt to protect an innocent person lands him with two choices—the brig or marriage to a woman he doesn't know—he chooses marriage. Which means denying his family's plans for him once and for all.</p><p>Lena Reed doesn't find it funny at all that three times her father has sent a man to help with her ranch and three times one of her sisters has married him. She's not falling for that trick. She was born to run the cattle operation at Two Willows and no man is going to take that away from her. So when Logan arrives she'll do whatever she can to keep him at arm's length. Only problem is the marine refuses to stay there. Bit by bit he's wearing down her resistance to him. But will giving into her feelings mean giving up her dreams?</p><p>Contains mature themes.</p>
