First published 2013
Landry Sutton arrives at Hangman Bend's Ranch with one goal: sell his property to brother Zane and return to his corporate life. The self-made businessman has cowboy roots but prefers city towers to mountain peaks. His plans shift when he meets Ria Manning, his new neighbor who's still adjusting to rural Montana herself. Ria's country transition hits a snag when she encounters a terrifying buffalo on her property. The massive animal belongs to Landry, and their first meeting leaves her more rattled by the cowboy than his wandering bison. She came to Big Sky Country seeking peace, not complications from livestock or the men who own them. Landry finds himself torn between his established urban success and the pull of his Montana heritage. Ria must decide if she can handle country life with all its surprises, including a neighbor who challenges everything she thought she wanted. Their clash over boundaries becomes something deeper as both face choices about home, belonging, and love.
