Itโs 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 Grayโs Glen, Washington. Heโs broke, but not broken, and itโs time to check in with his ailing father, and get his legs back under him by climbing into the saddle again.
He doesnโt expect to come home to a stranger pointing a loaded gun at his chestโa tough yet beautiful woman that Sam hired as the house manager. Colt senses thereโs more to Angelina Morales than meets the eye and heโs determined to find out what sheโs hiding...and why.
Coltโs return brings new challenges. Younger brother Nick has been Samโs right-hand man at the ranch for years and isnโt thrilled at having Colt insert himself into Double S affairs. And the ranchโs contentious relationship with the citizens of Grayโs 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 districtโs wealth and powerโor finally the courage to stay in the saddle for good?
