A tragic accident leaves eighteen-year-old Claire Burlow with a choice, she can have her inheritance, her family or her future. She cannot have all three. Not knowing the future, Claire fights to keep the family she has left and to keep their ranch on the Wyoming plains afloat, but she finds herself fighting against more than Mother Nature to keep it running. When two hired cowboys are not enough, a neighboring rancher offers a hand.
Jeffrey Meyers, a man whose last name makes Pa's lip curl. Claire has her own reasons for disliking the eldest of the Meyers Clan, but he may be the only way she can save her family's ranch. Can she trust him or should she turn in her six-shooter and split skirts for her grandmother's high society in Chicago?
Whitney currently lives in Montana with her family. Growing up, she split her time between a small town and a ranch her father worked on. She always thought she would be a rancher but she fell in love with a city boy, who has only ridden a horse once. It was a requirement before she married him. They hope to move into the country someday but for now, Whitney writes stories about the land she has walked and ridden; the same land homesteaders, Native Americans and bank robbers walked across one hundred years before.
