Mary Smith was never one to back down from a challenge. Her father’s health may be failing, but their dairy farm was her mother’s dream, and Mary will do whatever it takes to keep her father from selling it—even if it means sneaking off to the next town to earn money by playing the piano in a questionable establishment.

But no one knows the secret he carried to Texas, nor the secret he’s brought home.

But strange things are happening at the Smith dairy and in Pine Creek, and Luke’s instincts tell him Mary is in far more trouble than she realizes. One thing is certain: “home” is about to get more complicated for them both.

1870 – Texas

Headstrong Amelia Donovan can’t get anyone to pay attention to her ideas on how to track down the thieves that have been plaguing her father and neighboring ranchers. In their minds, a woman should focus her attention on keeping house and raising children, not on livestock or rustlers. But maybe the Texas Ranger who’s been called in to investigate will listen to her.

Ranger Jake Thornton has never encountered a case quite like this one. He is committed to the task of finding out who’s behind the mysterious string of cattle thefts, but he didn’t expect to have to ride herd on an unpredictable group of ranchers as well. On top of that, he has to deal with Amelia Donovan. With her wild ways, Amelia is unconventional, to say the least…and certainly not the kind of woman Jake would expect to draw his interest.
