For more than thirty years, the Sterling and McCabe families have lived side by side-and fought like enemies. When Lucas Sterling returns to Circle M Ranch after four years away, he expects to deal with his father's failing health and the ranch he left behind. He doesn't expect Adeline McCabe. Adeline has enough problems of her own. Taking over McCabe's Landing means proving she can run the ranch, handling men who don't think she belongs in charge, and keeping everything together while livestock disappears and equipment mysteriously fails. The last thing either of them needs is an attraction to someone from the wrong side of the fence. But as old grudges collide with new threats and trouble begins closing in on both ranches, Lucas and Adeline are forced to decide whether the feud that divided their families will dictate their future-or whether some boundaries were meant to be crossed. Two ranches. Two families. One feud that has lasted generations.
And two people who may finally have something worth ending it for.
