**New Western Romance Series from Bestselling Author Mary Connealy
**When Cimarron ranch patriarch Chance Boden is caught in an avalanche,
the quick actions of hired hand Heath Kincaid save him. Badly injured,
Chance demands that his will be read and its conditions be enforced
immediately.
Without anyone else to serve as a witness, Heath is pressed into reading
the will. If Justin, Sadie, and Cole Boden don't live and work at home
for the entire year, the ranch will go to their low-down cousin Mike.
Then Heath discovers the avalanche was a murder attempt, and more danger
might follow. Deeply involved with the family, Heath's desire to protect
Sadie goes far beyond friendship. The danger keeps them close together,
and their feelings grow until being apart is the last thing on their
minds.
