It’s been a long time since Colt Stafford shrugged off his
cowboy legacy for shiny Manhattan loafers and a promising
career on Wall Street. But when stock market manipulations
leave him financially strapped, the oldest son of legendary
rancher Sam Stafford decides to return to the sprawling
Double S ranch in Gray’s Glen, Washington. He’s broke, but
not broken, and it’s time to check in with his ailing
father, and get his legs back under him by climbing into the
saddle again.
He doesn’t expect to come home to a stranger pointing a
loaded gun at his chest—a tough yet beautiful woman that Sam
hired as the house manager. Colt senses there’s more to
Angelina Morales than meets the eye and he’s determined to
find out what she’s hiding...and why.
Colt’s return brings new challenges. Younger brother Nick
has been Sam’s right-hand man at the ranch for years and
isn’t thrilled at having Colt insert himself into Double S
affairs. And the ranch’s contentious relationship with the
citizens of Gray’s Glen asks all the Stafford men to examine
their hearts about what it truly means to be a neighbor.
And as Wall Street recovers, will Colt succumb to the call
of the financial district’s wealth and power—or finally the
courage to stay in the saddle for good?
