Mr. Stubborn. Mace Nichols is an 'I'll die with my boots on' cowboy. Old-school. Tough, silent and honorable. Which is why he's leaving his wife, Jenny. She has helped him build his dream-the Montana ranch they loved. Now he can't give her the family she's always dreamed of, so he has no choice: he needs to set her free. It makes perfect sense to him. It doesn't make a bit of sense to Jenny! She loves her stubborn, bull-headed husband. She admires his courage, his tenacity and his determination to always Do The Right Thing-even if, in this case, it is the stupidest thing he's ever done. Mace is right-Jenny has always wanted a family. But she wants a family with Mace! How can she convince the most honorable, stubborn man in the world what really matters in life?
