Alejandra Loyola knows she's going to die. If having information about her uncle and cousin's illegal cattle rustling operation isn't enough to get her killed, then snitching on them to the law will surely mean her death—and she's snitched more than once. The only question is, will she be able to see her younger sister provided for before she dies?
Harrison Rutherford has worked hard to establish himself as one of the best lawyers in the bustling city of Austin, Texas. But when he decides to defend a poor family against harm caused by a wealthy business owner, everything goes wrong. After his father suffers a stroke, Harrison finds himself not just kicked out of high society, but headed to the remote town of Twin Rivers where he grew up.
But all is not as it seems in Twin Rivers. Rustlers have been wreaking havoc on local ranchers and evading law enforcement for over a year. But the best way to bring the rustlers to justice just might involve Alejandra Loyola, a standoffish maid with a pretty smile and eyes that say she knows too much.
As the rustlers become more dangerous, will Harrison and Alejandra learn to trust each other enough to stop them? Or will the rustlers prove powerful enough to destroy not just the ranches surrounding Twin Rivers, but any hope for a future between them?
