Mitch Life on our ranch was great until a few months ago when dead bodies started showing up all over our property. Then my younger brother Morgan, and my oldest brother's girlfriend, were kidnapped and beaten by a militia group. The ring leaders still haven't been found. We are cautious of everything these days. Things seem normal or at least as normal as they can be until she shows up. The one person from my past that I never wanted to see, ever again. No idea what she wants or why she's here. Then things start happening on the ranch, life just got complicated. Alicia I hate this town with a passion and never thought I would have to be back here for more than a short trip for holidays. When mom's neighbor called and said she fell and broke her hip, I knew I would have to be back for an indefinite amount of time. I can't stand the town, it smells like cows, the people are noisy as all get out, and my past is here. A past I wanted to forget. I need to see Mitch and at least explain to him what happened and hope that he'll at least forgive me. Then, I can get back to my life in Houston, the life I love. Why does she affect me the way she does? She broke my heart, then left. Now, she's back. Nothing good will come of this.

Morgan I returned after my last tour as a Marine, and the ranch looks the same as it always has. I'd been home for almost a year when dead bodies started showing up on our ranch. My former commander and second lieutenant are responsible, but no one can seem to find them. I've been kidnapped and beaten but never broken. I was seen in the ER for my broken bones and bruises after the militia had their way with me. The attending physician was Dr. Samantha Knighten, and she has become a pain in my neck. She even showed up at my brother's wedding. Samantha When the tall, dark, and handsome Morgan Stover was in my ER for a broken bone, some lacerations, and bruising, I wanted to slap him. He was egotistical, broody, and downright rude. I work one night a week in the local hospital ER, and as my luck would have it, the ahole came in on my shift. His sister-in-law is delightful, but that man is nothing but a rude, obnoxious, pig. He's the worst groomsman on earth. You can tell he's still drunk from last night.
