An Irresistible Temptation (The Defiant Hearts Series, Book 2)

Disembarking the train at the tiny town of Spring City, Colorado, classical pianist Sophie Malloy didn't expect to be knocked into the street by a dusty cowboy with a devastatingly sexy grin.
Riley Dalcourt—the dusty cowboy—is stunned. At first sight, he knows Sophie is the woman for him, right down to her purple unmentionables. Unfortunately, he’s already engaged. Honor bound, he’s determined to go through with his commitment. Yet he simply can’t stay away from the sweet-tempered beauty who has entered his life so unexpectedly, or forget her when she leaves just as quickly.
Traveling from San Francisco and the dangerous Barbary Coast, Sophie and Riley reunite while pursuing their individual dreams that, if fulfilled, will pull them apart forever.
