The Prodigal Is Coming Home
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?"
