Synopsis

First book in the eagerly anticipated sequel to the Bellamys of Texas trilogy! Fast-forwarding a few generations finds the contemporary Bellamy-Welles-Slade families going strong in northern New Mexico.

Colter Bellamy and his partner, Jonah, run the security division of the family business
in Albuquerque, including private investigation and personal security services. When they get the call that J.D. Pederson’s death was suspicious, Colter rushes to northern New Mexico, the area near his own family’s ranch, to see how he can aid in the investigation. When he discovers that the blown tire and rollover were no accident, everyone associated with the Pederson Ranch becomes a suspect. Twenty-eight year old, hazel-eyed Miranda Pederson seems the most broken up by the death, but she’s also the one with the most to gain.

Miranda is shocked to learn she has inherited the lucrative ranch. J.D. was her stepfather and she expected his natural sons, nine-year-old twins, would be the heirs. When Colter Bellamy shows up with his suspicious questions and a good-sized dose of the Bellamy charm, she doesn’t know what to think. But within days, someone fires shots at Miranda and her young stepbrothers, and she knows all their lives are at stake, unless J.D.’s killer is caught.

One by one, Colter checks out the suspects, wanting to believe in Miranda’s innocence and to ignore how good she looks in those jeans. Can they resist the sparks that fly between them, even if it turns out Miranda is a suspect and Colter might be the one to turn her in? Or will Miranda learn the deepest secrets of the Bellamy family and discover betrayals that shock her to the core?
