Ryan has come full circle.

Ryan Laxalt is back in his hometown of Buffalo. Back doing the work he once resented to survive. But although much is the same, he recognizes few faces and is glad few recognize him. He knows he can't lie low in a small town forever-hopefully just long enough to uncover the truth about his father's murder. . .and before an auburn beauty wrangles his heart.

Olivia Sattler is anxious to return to the Rocking S ranch. Years spent East have left her pining for home-the home she remembers when her mother was alive and filling her and her father's lives with warmth. Yet the years have also stirred up change. . . . And then there's Mr. Laxalt. Handsome, yes, but with enough brusqueness to fill Wyoming territory.

When unearthed secrets shed disturbing light on Olivia's cattle baron father, will the truth keep Olivia and Ryan apart for good?
