Slade Barlow has never received any recognition from his biological father, John Carmody all his life so imagine his surprise when he leaves half his estate to him. The other half is willed to his half brother, Hutch, who was Carmody's legitimate son. Hutch wants to buy Slade's half of the ranch and Slade wants to be a rancher when his time as Sheriff is over. Slade cannot let go of his hurt and chooses to leave Hutch hanging.
Joslyn Kirk returns to town years after her stepfather scammed the townspeople out of their hard-earned money. She is living in her old house that was bought by her best friend, Kendra and looking for away to make peace with the town of Parable. Joslyn and Slade are starting to get feelings for one another but neither will make the first move as they have been hurt before. Throw in a 16 year-old stepdaughter and Opal who worked for Joslyn's family and watch the couple try and stay apart.

This is a simple small town cowboy romance romance but quite enjoyable. If you are looking for a predictable story with hot ranchers this is what you need! I can't wait for Hutch and Kendra's story next.
