He’s fighting the reputation of his brother, the shadow of his father... and the one woman who won’t back down.
Thomas Blackthorne has spent his entire life playing second fiddle to his legendary older brother, Reid. But when Reid is sidelined by a sudden injury right before the ranch's crucial, first-ever cattle drive, Thomas is thrust into the trail boss seat. Armed with nothing but his father's ledger and a crew that doesn't respect him, he has one shot to prove he’s a man worthy of the Blackthorne name.
The grueling trail north to Sedalia is ruthless enough, but the real danger waits at the Red River crossing: Abigail Finch.
Blond, blue-eyed, and fiercely independent, Abbie Finch is running her own small herd and refuses to let a massive outfit like the Blackthorns push her aside. Worse yet, she’s instantly drawn to Grant Fletcher, the handsome, lethal gunfighter Henry Blackthorne hired for protection. Grant is everything Thomas is not, seasoned, confident, and a mirror image of Reid.
As the herds merge out of sheer survival, a suffocating battle of wills ignites on the wild trail. With Grant undermining his authority at every turn and threatening to steal Abbie’s heart, Thomas faces his ultimate crucible. To survive the treacherous journey and win the woman he loves, Thomas must cast off his brother's shadow, face down a killer, and finally claim his own hard-won honor.
