WEST
Loving Jackson Myles almost cost me my life. I ran, going wherever the wind took me. I did things I’m not proud of to survive.
When I inherit my half of Double Arrow Ranch, I mean to sell. I want nothing to do with Jackson or that place. But my dad’s will requires I work the ranch for one year or I’ll forfeit the sale.
Only Jackson isn’t some soft and sweet kid anymore. He’s hard edges and rough antics, and he takes nothing from no one—including me. As I start to unravel, dragged down by the memories of Double Arrow Ranch, Jackson is there to pick up my pieces. But do I want him to?
JACKSON
I loved West McNamara. I loved him when he kissed me, I loved him when he vanished in the middle of the night, and a part of me still loves him. But I hate him for all the same reasons.
When West inherits his half of Double Arrow Ranch, he can’t sell it without working the ranch for one year. That means I’m stuck with him.
But this West isn’t the kid I knew. He’s tortured and broken, tattooed with the secrets of seventeen years lost between us. As I learn his secrets, can I reconcile the best friend I lost with the broken man in front of me?
