The lush Palm Springs resort of Desert Villas looked like paradise to lovely rancher Gwen Lawson when she first arrived. But after an embarrassing run-in with handsome resort manager Lance Fletcher, her view of things began to change. And when Dennis Carlton, Gwen's neighbor and all-too-persistent suitor, turned up in town, she began to wish she'd never heard of Desert Villas.

Dennis and Lance instantly disliked each other, and Gwen was caught right in the middle. To add to the confusion, beautiful Sherry Crane, another resort guest, appeared quite ready to steal both men's attention away. And while Gwen would have been delighted to let Sherry take Dennis off her hands, Lance was quite a different matter. Yet though her heart told her she'd finally met a man she could love, would she ever be able to discover how Lance felt about her with the troublesome twosome constantly coming between them?
