As long as Josephine Robinson can remember she’s wanted to go to California but a tragedy in the family brings up old wounds and ensures that she won’t be able to leave anytime soon — maybe never.  Ezra works both as a ranch hand and helping out in his father’s saloon but what he really wants is to have his own land. Unfortunately, the more his father drinks, the meaner he gets. And not only that but the old man is hiding a secret that could get them all killed.  Jo and Ezra have known each other for most of their lives. but with a death in the family, a move to a new town, a handsome sheriff, and villainous outlaws the two have their hands full and no time to find out if they could be more than friends.  But after a gang of outlaws threatens Jo’s family’s ranch, Ezra must take action to prevent the theft. When it turns out that the bandits aren’t just rustling cattle, they’re also killing honest folks, Jo must stand up and face her traumatic past in order to move forward into the future she’s envisioned for herself.  Can Jo find the courage to protect her family, tell the man she loves how she really feels, and save their home? Or will her fear keep her trapped for the rest of her life?
