Description

He traded his roots for a guitar and a gold record. Now he's back to save the land he left behind—and the woman whose heart he broke.
Beau Sterling is country music's golden boy. He has the number one song on the charts, a tour bus waiting, and a smile that makes women weak in the knees. But when a stroke fells the Sterling patriarch, Beau is forced to return to Iron Ridge, the massive Wyoming ranch he abandoned ten years ago. He expects a quick visit to sign some papers; instead, he finds a legacy in ruins, a family at war, and a billion-dollar developer circling like a vulture.
Cassidy Raines doesn't care about Billboard charts. She cares about quarter horses, the rodeo circuit, and keeping Iron Ridge floating while the Sterlings play corporate games. She was the one who stayed when Beau ran. She was the one who picked up the pieces. And she's the one who promised herself she'd never fall for the cowboy with the guitar again.
Forced to work side-by-side to prepare the ranch's prize stock for a high-stakes auction, the old sparks between them turn into a wildfire. But Beau's Nashville label is calling, and the secrets of Iron Ridge are deeper than the soil. To save the ranch, Beau has to decide if he's a superstar playing dress-up, or a cowboy ready to come home for good.
