"No matter what you do, or where you go, you'll always have Garcia blood inside you. This is the legacy that I am leaving for all of you," my father leans in real close.
"What if we don't want to be apart of it?" I speak up, turning all their eyes on me.
His eyes are narrowed, yet unreadable at the same time. He takes a seat in front of us as if it was just another day. Lifting his feet off the ground and placing them right on the table, crossing them.
"Then go, and don't ever expect for me or your brothers to come and find you."

Six years ago, Santana ran away from her father, and brothers whose life revolved around a notorious biker gang and drugs. Now living with her mother in San Francisco, she has created a new life for herself while still remembering the older brothers she left behind.
With no line of communication to them or her father, she's been able to live normal life. Keeping mostly to herself, good grades, a best friend, and maybe even a bit of social life. The best part is there's no biker gangs, drugs, or death in her life.
Suddenly, her oldest brother, Tomás shows up at her school out of blue with some devastating news about a danger she's been trying to avoid. Just like that ,the life she left behind is now starting to catch up to her with nowhere to hide. Santana must now move back to the small town she grew up in and face the threat that comes with it.
Of course that includes the annoying and charmingly, handsome biker--who's also her brother's right hand man--Ander. The man who has a way with his words and can make anybody melt, except for Santana
So, she rejects him and moves on. Yet, that doesn't stop Ander from trying to swoon her off of her feet and into her bed at every chance that he can get. Especially when she's the only girl that sees through his BS.
If only his words could save her from the life threatening danger that is coming their way.
When long estranged Jake returns to West Line Ranch, Liz can't help but sense that they're in for a world of trouble - though as the two become closer, Liz becomes torn between her family and the man she's starting to fall for.

After the beloved owner of West Line Ranch passes away, Liz and the rest of the ranch get a wild surprise at the reading of the will - long estranged Jake is on his way back to West Line Ranch, which can only mean trouble. When he arrives to not only discover he was granted full ownership of the ranch, but that he must stay for a year, he agrees, as there's nothing holding him to his past. However, the longer he stays at the ranch, the more he begins to fall for not just the simpler way of life in the country, but for Liz as well.
