Dassas Cormier returns to Marshall's Bayou, his hometown in southwest Louisiana, in the spring of 1924 to find that his old friend, Red Doucet, has been murdered. Dass's short career in law enforcement makes him the most likely person to solve the mystery surrounding Red's death. Grace, the only woman Dass has ever loved, is also back in Marshall's Bayou, and she wants Dass to look for her missing husband. He reluctantly agrees, and is surprised when his search leads to another murder. Are the two murders somehow linked? More importantly, how is Grace involved?

September 26, 1924
I never thought I’d look forward to returning to Marshall’s Bayou. Nothing ever happened there. Even when the rest of the world was listening to jazz and racing around in motorcars, I knew I’d find everything at home just as it had been the day I left.

The Green Ridge Ranch is more than just a job for Meg Richards, it's home. Working as the lead horse wrangler for the ranch and clinging to the only family she has left, Meg holds tight to her dreams. It definitely isn't in her best interest to become involved with the new boss.
Ian Drake, a Los Angeles businessman, has big plans for his new property. By breaking the Green Ridge into cabin sites he'll make a bundle. But when happiness with an unlikely spitfire horse wrangler becomes more important than business, will he be able to save his fortune and his heart?
Before Ian and Meg can ride off into the Montana sunset, Ian's former partner, feeling spurned and bent on revenge, threatens to destroy him and the ranch. And the unrequited love of a ranch hand obsessed with Meg since childhood leads to danger.
Sparks ignite into a passion more powerful than either can imagine when Meg and Ian's worlds collide.
