Brady Talmadge was a cowboy with five unbreakable rules: 1) Never pick up a pretty hitchhiker; 2) Avoid damsels in distress; 3) Never order chili at a truck stop; 4) Always trust your gut; 5) Never tell a lie... This is what happened when he broke all his rules...and got into a whole lot of trouble! On the run from an arranged marriage, Princess Annabella of Monesta dons the guise of a hitchhiking cowgirl. But when she finds herself drenched, alone, and hungry, she has no choice but to trust the tall Texas horse whisperer who offers her a ride. He's like no one she's ever known - a strong sexy man who says just what he thinks. And when one wild kiss leaves her breathless, she quickly realizes she'll give up everything to spend a lifetime of night times in his arms. But how can there be happily-ever-after with palace guards hot on her trail?
