Chet (Cowboys)
Melody Jordan would rather pack her bags and head back to Virginia than marry a man she doesn't love.  But her father is dead and she can't leave her stepmother and two young brothers to fend for themselves while rustlers steal their cattle and the nearest rancher tries to steal their ranch.  Lantz Royal has made it clear he intends to get the Spring Water Ranch one way or another, which means Melody either has to marry the man or get ready to put up the fight of her life. Chet Attmore is ready to hang up his guns and find a quiet place to settle down where no one knows him.  He's only passing through and has no intentions of getting involved in the troubles of the Spring Water Ranch or the pretty young woman who lives there.  But all his good intentions are lost when he gets pulled into the fray.  Soon, he's in too deep to leave and his heart is hoping for things his mind knows he can never have. Continuing The Cowboys series, Leigh Greenwood introduces us to another one of Jake and Isabelle Maxwell's orphans.
