If it weren't for the ring… 

…rancher Clancy Calhoun and Olivia Parsons might be able to pull off their "cool acquaintances" routine. They might be able to convince the world that they just knew each other in passing, enough to say hello and be on their way. Or at least they might be able to convince themselves. 

But all those years ago, they had been the whole world to each other—and he'd given her a diamond ring to prove it. Now, ten years later, Olivia is back at the Silver Horn, and she and Clancy are sure they can be in each other's company without falling apart—or worse yet, falling into each other's arms.  

Because if the ring goes back on her finger, this time it's never coming off!
