Three siblings. One ranch. And they all must agree to abide by the terms of their grandfather's will or Crooked Valley's future is at risk...
Ex-soldier Duke Duggan isn't looking forward to returning to Crooked Valley Ranch...or being forced into taking control of the operation now that his grandfather's passed on. He's a soldier, not a cowboy, and he's feeling mighty out of place until he sees ranch foreman Carrie Coulter, a face from the past.
Carrie's both relieved and annoyed to see Duke, but when he threatens to sell the ranch, she soon realizes that her livelihood is at stake. Still, nothing will be decided until after Christmas, which means there's ample time for them to find a solution and explore their sizzling chemistry. Until a fierce winter storm threatens everything...
