From a New York Times-bestselling author, "intrigue, danger, and greed are up against integrity, kindness, and love in this engrossing western romance" (Booklist).

When news arrived that there was trouble back in Texas, Holt McKettrick left a mail-order bride and his family on the spot. And he never looked back. He just prayed he'd be in time to save the man who had raised him as a son and keep his best friend from the gallows. He knew he'd encounter rustlers, scoundrels and thieves, but he'd never expected to find a woman like Lorelei Fellows.

Setting fire to her wedding dress in the town square probably wasn't the best way to stand her ground. But Lorelei had had enough. She was sick of men and their schemes. All she wanted was to stake her claim on her own little piece of Texas. And with Holt McKettrick as a neighbor, things were beginning to look up. The man was a straight shooter with a strong will, a steady aim and a hungry heart.

"Highly enjoyable. . . . Strong characterization and a vivid western setting make for a fine historical romance." -Publishers Weekly

From a New York Times-bestselling author who "creates vibrant characters and stories" the latest western romance set in Bliss County, Wyoming (Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Best is Yet to Come).

Drake Carson is the quintessential cowboy. In charge of the family ranch, he knows the realities of this life, its pleasures and heartbreaks. Lately, managing the wild stallions on his property is wearing him down. When an interfering so-called expert arrives and starts offering her opinion, Drake is wary, but he can't deny the longing-and the challenge-she stirs in him.

Luce Hale is researching how wild horses interact with ranch animals-and with ranchers. The Carson matriarch invites her to stay with the family, which guarantees frequent encounters with Drake, her ruggedly handsome and decidedly unwelcoming son. Luce and Drake are at odds from the very beginning, especially when it comes to the rogue stallion who's stealing the ranch mares. But when Drake believes Luce is in danger, that changes everything-for both of them.
