Beyond The Stars penned by the author Christine Clinton is a kinda book that fits perfectly to my reading taste. Story has two main characters: Izzy Karmen, a beautiful city girl and Jerome Beckham, a charming and heartbroken cowboy.

Frustrated Izzy left the party alone and she ended up in front of Jerome’s barn. Jerome offered her to stay at his place for a night.
