Ever since his marriage became a casualty of the war in Afghanistan<U+2014>torn apart by the PTSD he brought back with him<U+2014>he prefers to be on his own. At the Bar C Ranch in Wyoming, where he works with a crew of fellow military vets, his gentle patience helps tame even the rowdiest mustang<U+2014>but he<U+2019>s about to meet a woman who needs a healing touch he<U+2019>s not sure he can give. Dair Wilson, a half-Comanche ex-Marine who lost a foot to an IED, has been hired on to assist Noah, but her deepest wounds aren<U+2019>t visible.

But one angry, damaged man poses a threat not only to Dair and Noah, but to everyone who<U+2019>s built a new home at the Bar C<U+2026>
