"Fast track up the political ladder, fast cars, fast women--that's Garrett McKettrick. Or make that "was." A scandal has brought him home to Blue River, Texas, a place where a man can slow down, take stock and plan his next move. However, that doesn't include staying at the family ranch with his brothers. A city boy, Garrett doesn't think he has the land in his blood. Blue River has other attractions, such as his former high school nemesis, Julie Remington. Now a striking woman, Julie comes complete with a four-year-old cowboy, a three-legged beagle and deep ties to the community. Good thing they have nothing in common, except their undeniable attraction and a future brighter than the Texas sun"--Publisher description.
