Annemarie Garrett had a clear plan for her future. Getting pregnant at eighteen by a man twice her age wasn’t part of it. Neither was fighting to get her son’s wealthy rancher father to provide for his child. Shifting directions at the unexpected fork in the road, she moves across Wyoming to secure a future for her son. But a gift of five hundred acres unwillingly given isn’t the boon it seems. Annemarie knows nothing about ranching, and this barren tract of land is just a stone’s throw from a man and his family who hate her and everything she represents.

With six older brothers ahead of him in line for his family’s ranch, Gabriel Collins knew from a young age that he’d have to find his own way in the world. Now he’s a master electrician with a successful business. Something is missing, however, and when Annemarie calls in desperate need of his expertise, he finds out exactly what. The indomitable young mother, her adorable little boy, and their struggle to turn Garrett Ranch from a money pit into a profitable operation might just be the family and the cause he didn’t know he was searching for… so long as the boy’s father doesn’t ruin everything.
