Description
The Prodigal Is Coming Home...
It’s been a long time since Colt Stafford shrugged off his cowboy legacy for shiny Manhattan loafers and a promising career on Wall Street. But when stock market manipulations leave him financially strapped, the oldest son of legendary rancher Sam Stafford decides to return to the sprawling Double S ranch in Gray’s Glen, Washington. He’s broke, but not broken, and it’s time to check in with his ailing father, and get his legs back under him by climbing into the saddle again.
He doesn’t expect to come home to a stranger pointing a loaded gun at his chest— a tough yet beautiful woman that Sam hired as the house manager. Colt senses there’s more to Angelina Morales than meets the eye and he’s determined to find out what she’s hiding...and why.
Colt’s return brings new challenges. Younger brother Nick has been Sam’s right-hand man at the ranch for years and isn’t thrilled at having Colt insert himself into Double S affairs. And the ranch’s contentious relationship with the citizens of Gray’s Glen asks all the Stafford men to examine their hearts about what it truly means to be a neighbor. And as Wall Street recovers, will Colt succumb to the call of the financial district’s wealth and power—or finally the courage to stay in the saddle for good?

Colt Stafford left his father's ranch in Grey's Glen, WA, to pursue the glamour of high finance in Manhattan. Nine years later, after the hedge-fund collapse, he returns to the Double S as the prodigal son. Will Sam Stafford welcome his son home despite their strained relationship? A run-in with housekeeper Angelina Morales has Colt intrigued. The beautiful but nervous young woman is hiding something, and he is determined to uncover her secret. VERDICT Herne's (Healing the Lawman's Heart) new romantic series is off to a promising start with this warm, inspirational story. Likable characters and a well-drawn ranch setting blends exquisitely with the overarching theme of faith and forgiveness. This uplifting tale will please Herne's fans and aficionados of Western romances.
