For years Callan Carrigan has been her father’s right hand man, so when her
dad’s will names city slicker Court McAllister the new owner of The Circle C
Ranch, Callan feels betrayed on every level.
Then she and her sisters find their mother’s diaries, hidden from them by
their father since their mother’s accidental death 18 years ago, and the
shocking revelations explain a lot. Reeling, Callan seeks refuge in the
local saloon, where it seems no one can reach her, until Court offers her a
challenge.
If she agrees to be foreman at the Circle C for one year, he’ll deed the
ranch back to her and her sisters. The deal seems too sweet at first—until
Callan realizes Court has his eyes on something she protects even more than
her family’s land—her heart.
