Brooks Morgan left home when he was a young man thinking that he would never be good enough. He didn't want to work on the ranch and took his horse and ran away. Ten years later, he ends up in a town and runs into a man. The man is sick and Brooks agrees to take care of him until he dies. The man has one last card game at his house and Brooks wins the deed to his ranch.
Keri is the dead man's niece and comes back from finishing school to find that her world has been upended. Her uncle is dead and she comes to find out that the man she saved from a lynching is the new owner of her home. She wonders if she should have let him be hanged after all.
These two don't exactly hit it off right away. Keri thinks that Brooks is a charmer and a joker and won't take anything seriously. She thinks he won't work hard enough to keep the ranch going and ruin her home. She has no one else and nowhere to go, so she's stuck unless she agrees to marry a man who has his heart set on having her. There's something about him that frightens Keri a bit, but she's more afraid of the feelings that are growing for Brooks.
I enjoyed this book, as I did the others, and I believe that the series was a good investment. Sometimes I end up with buyer's remorse when I try out new authors, but this time, there are no regrets. I liked the characters and the story had great examples of second chances. Good Book! Good series!
