Falling in lust with a priest is the last thing on Vivienne Wilde’s agenda…but then she’s yet to meet Alexandra Westbrooke.  

When author and radio talk show diva Vivienne Wilde launches a media attack on Claridge Seminary, the chancellor orders Dr. Alexandra Westbrooke to make this “Wilde woman” cease and desist. Vivienne is determined to discover what caused one-time radical Alexandra to embrace the institution she once decried and refuses to be sidetracked even when her journalistic interest becomes unexpectedly personal. Alexandra’s immediate attraction for Vivienne puts her at odds with her father, both earthly and heavenly, and forces her to confront feelings she buried when she became a priest.

Cash is irritated by and enamored of the self-sufficient rancher who refuses to treat her as an equal, and she vows to earn Maggie’s respect. While Cash struggles to win a place in Maggie's heart, Maggie fights her unwelcome desire to take Cash into her arms.
