John Callister and his brother had built a ranching empire in Montana.They'd made their fortune-- and they'd made Callister a household name. But now John wants something he can call his own. So he starts over-- without the Callister name-- vowing to polish a run-down spread in the small, sleepy town of Hollister into a jewel. But the jewel he uncovers isn't a ranch. Sassy Peale is pretty and shy with far too much responsibility on her small shoulders. She has nothing of value-- except her trust, her faith and her love, all of which she offers, without reservation, to him. As John Callister, he could easily give Sassy and her little family a better life. But Sassy knows him only as a simple ranch foreman. How can he tell her that he can give her all she ever wanted, and in the same breath admit that everything she knows about him is a lie?
