About this ebook
Luke Stone came home to bury his grandfather. He didn't expect Claire to walk back into his life the same week.
The will is clear: Cornerstone Ranch goes to all five Stone brothers — but only if they run it together for five years. Luke's the oldest. Holding his scattered brothers home falls to him.
Then Claire moves back to Colt, Texas with her four-year-old daughter in tow. Two years a widow, she's come to take over the retiring veterinarian's clinic and give Millie roots. She didn't come back for the man she quietly loved in high school — the man her late husband Thomas asked out before Luke ever got the chance.
Luke has carried that secret for fifteen years. Four months. Four brothers to bring home. One ranch on the line. And the only woman he's ever loved standing right in front of him, asking him to be brave one more time.
