Description
I’m a soldier.
A cattle rancher.
A Hayden.
My family’s legacy is spread out in front of me, just waiting for me to seize it. If it weren’t for one outdated rule, I’d be the owner of the Hayden Cattle Company and my aging father could retire.
When Dakota Wright shows up to buy and develop twenty acres of Hayden land, I see more than a pretty mouth and strawberry blonde hair. I see a way around the decree keeping me from getting what I want.
And, as luck would have it, Dakota has a big problem of her own. We strike two deals: one for the land, and a second that’ll make both our problems a distant memory.
It isn’t too long before I realize I’m in over my head. I’ve convinced myself the ends should justify the means, but everything begins to fall apart when my birthright is no longer all that I’m after.
I never thought there’d be anything I could love more than my ranch and my country.
I was wrong.
Turns out, I want it all.
Including her.

Dakota & Wes meet at his friends party, he wasn't going to stay until he saw her.
Dakota is shocked when 5 years later she meets Lake guy again.
Can the two help each other?
This is my first time reading this author and definitely won't be my last.
I loved the characters and I'm pleased to see there will be more books about the family

This is the first book I have read by Jennifer Millikin, and it won't be the last. I always enjoy books about close families and the bonds that last generations - call me old fashioned, but we do not have enough of these values today. With that in mind, I also enjoy stories of our men and women of the military and how hard they work to rebuild their lives when they come home. For me, this was a very enjoyable read. The only thing I would like to call out is about 2/3 of the way through the book, the writing seemed choppy and did not flow like the remainder of the book. Other than that, it was a very good book and I look forward to reading the other books in the series when they come out.

Fake engagement anyone?
This story is so much more than what the eyes can see. It’s packed with everything from all the ups and downs of a big farm family to the ptsd moments and life after the army for our hero and of course, the chance at a beautiful romance that it’s not missing all suspenseful twists and bumps in her way to that happily ever after.

Good story about family love and friends helping each other. Love comes to Wes and Dakota while they
work on helping each other solve their problems,
Yvonne C, Reviewer
I decided to try a new author, and since this was a new series, I knew it was the perfect time to give both a try. Glad I did.
Wes Hayden is back home ready to take over his family’s ranch. But things are not easy.
Dakota Wright shows up at the ranch wanting to purchase 20 acres of the Hayden land. Imagine her shock to see the guy she met 5 years ago .
Both have their agenda and strike a deal, but what happens when feelings develop and what they thought they wanted, might not be what they really want?
The plot was engaging and the characters complex and perfect in their imperfections.
A series that promises to be a real winner.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
