While the foreman seems to have his own ideas about how she should be spending her nights, she is given a bunk house to share with Dune O' Brandy, a quiet yet hardworking man. Over time, Rylie finds herself drawn more and more to her bunkmate, especially when she is given a blue roan to ride that he trained himself. But right out of the gate, it seems her past won't let go as she's plagued by dreams of attackers, murderers, and her helpless family and friends being killed before her eyes. The foreman's advances don't help any, each one bringing back more memories. Dune is the only one that can console her, and as the summer passes, they fight to control the nightmares, as well as staying out from under the foreman.
