Book Description
Jessie Hayden’s life changed dramatically the day her eldest brother left home, never to be seen again. Stepping into his role as the lead wrangler on her family’s ranch, she learns to cope with what the locals think of her and the things they say behind her back, but never learns to deal with the rift in her heart and the pain of losing the member of her family she’d been closest to.
A storm swept night brings a stranger, Colt Tucker, into town. Discovering an advert placed by her father, he walks the four miles across pitch-black countryside to the Blue Plains Ranch and offers his services as a wrangler but things don’t go smoothly from the start.
Colt reminds Jessie painfully of her brother and he suffers the consequences as they begin to work together on the ranch. He finds himself drawn to her as she continually changes mood, going from gentle to tempestuous in the blink of an eye, and works to unravel the mystery of her past, bringing them closer together.
One fateful night changes everything again, and Jessie finds herself losing the rest of her family and the man she’s come to love.
Months later, they meet up by chance and the sparks fly. Will Jessie listen to what Colt has to say, or is it too late for her to trust in him again?
