Synopsis

The illegitimate son of a wealthy rancher, Sheriff Slade Barlow grew up in a trailer hitched to the Curly-Burly hair salon his mother runs. He was never acknowledged by his father -- that is, until he inherited half of Whisper Creek Ranch, one of the most prosperous in Parable, Montana. That doesn't sit well with his half-brother, Hutch, who grew up with all the rights and privileges of a Carmody. Hutch even won the affections of homecoming queen, rodeo queen and beauty queen Joslyn Kirk -- the woman Slade has never forgotten.

But Joslyn is barely holding it together these days as she struggles to pay back everyone her crooked stepfather swindled. With a town to protect and a rebellious teenage daughter, Slade has his hands full. But someone has to convince Joslyn that she's only responsible for her own actions -- even if it might mean that this lawman's guarded heart could be broken again
