Rose Badger is the local flirt, and if the other inhabitants of backwoods Blake's Folly, Nevada, don't approve, she couldn't care less. With a disastrous marriage and a dead-end career far behind her, settling down is the last thing she intends to do. Newcomer Jonah Livingstone is intriguing, but with his complicated life, he's off limits for anything other than friendship. Besides, Rose has a secret world of her own-one she won't give up for any man. The last person geologist Jonah Livingstone expected to meet in a semi-ghost town is the sparkling and lovely Rose Badger. But Rose, always surrounded by many admirers, doesn't seem inclined to choose a favorite. So why fret? Jonah keeps his personal life well hidden...and that's the best way to avoid disappointment.

Alice Treemont has no intention of falling in love. Living in Blake's Folly, a semi-ghost town, she cooks vegetarian meals, rescues unwanted dogs, and protects the most unloved creatures on earth: snakes. What man would share those interests? Jace Constant is in Nevada, doing research for his new book, but he won't be staying. He's disgusted by desert dust on his fine Italian shoes and dog hair on his cashmere sweaters. As for snakes, he doesn't just despise them: they terrify him. So why does the air sizzle each time Alice and Jace meet? A romance would entail far too many compromises.
