Overview

~ Ethan ~ I had been a lawyer from New York City. I'd only come to the Eagle Creek Ranch for the reading of my father's will. I hadn't intended to stay. That was six months ago, and so much had changed since then. The biggest change was my romantic involvement with Jake Cooper, the ranch foreman. I was pretty sure I was falling for him, but he kept treating me like I didn't belong on the ranch, making it harder to decide whether to stay or go. Before I can decide one way or the other, dealing with troubles at the ranch take precedence. People are coming onto the ranch, endangering everyone here. And if that wasn't bad enough, I get called back to the city to deal with an old client of mine. Flying back to New York City wasn't the problem. Deciding if I was coming back to the ranch—and Cooper—was. ~ Cooper ~ Ethan Walker was unlike anyone I had ever met and I was totally fascinated by him. He was also a city boy and I was terrified that he would get hurt because he knew nothing about life on the ranch. When my need to keep him safe leads to a rift between us, and then he suddenly decides to fly back to New York, I make the decision to go with him. I'll be damned if I let him go alone. He might not come back.
