She walked away from Wyoming to save him. Fifteen years later, the worst man she ever prosecuted is out of prison — and the only place left to run is home.
At twenty-three, Caitlin Ellery stood in the doorway of Cameron Alexander's cabin, told him a lie she would carry the rest of her life, and walked off the Wyoming ranch that raised her. She did it because her father gave her an ultimatum she didn't have the courage to refuse — before she knew what the leaving would cost her in a Denver hospital room, alone.
Fifteen years later, she is one of the most respected federal environmental prosecutors in the country. A corner office on the thirty-seventh floor. A reputation built on control, competence, and never letting anyone see her break. She has not been back to the Double E Ranch. Not once.
Then her brother calls. Her father is gone. The ranch needs her. And when she walks into the memorial service in the chignon that has become her armor, Cameron Alexander is exactly where she left him — older, quieter, weathered by honest work and a love he never learned how to set down. He has been the foreman of the Double E since he was a young man. He has been waiting for her since before he had the words for it.
He has no idea about the ultimatum. The pregnancy. The baby she lost alone.
He also has no idea that Vincenzo Castellano — the organized-crime fugitive Caitlin once put inside a federal courtroom — is out, patient, and rebuilding. He has identified twelve federal prosecutors he intends to use as a recruiting demonstration. He has bought four spreads of land around the Double E through shell companies three tiers deep. He intends to broadcast Caitlin's death live to every federal prosecutor west of the Mississippi.
FBI Special Agent Amanda Rives gives her one option that buys time: go home. Federal agents, Wyoming law enforcement, and a Navy SEAL element converge on the Double E. Surveillance turns into a siege. The truth Caitlin has carried alone for fifteen years is going to find Cameron whether she's ready or not.
Grief and love are not opposites. They are from the same country and walked at different times.
