Ohhhh where to start but with this hot as sin cover that has me fanning myself thinking about Cole.  He was not only dirty sexy but also brainy.  He was like the complete guy once you were able to break through his tough man exterior which is exactly what Callie does. 

Callie is a spoiled rich girl that knows the value of putting in a hard days work on the ranch but she has no time for romance or love, she has to get through college so that she can take over her family business.  But there are couple of problems along the way.  One being this attraction to ranch hand, Cole.

Cole knows what is to give it all up for family; which is exactly what he is doing this summer.  He is putting his family first.  He can not risk losing it all over a hot chick especially his bosses granddaughter.  But the way Cole feels from being around Callie or even just looking at her.  He knows he is in for a long hard summer.  

As Callie and Cole figure out how to handle this attraction that they have for each other, they become friends and learn there is so much more to each other that just the chemistry they share.  Will they be able to survive a summer of being so close but not touching?  Or will they give in to the lust and deal with the ramifications after?
