RubyI needed to get away. Someplace safe. Someplace far away from the mess I've made of my life. Turns out I have a half-brother I never knew about. I took a chance, left everything behind to go find him in Riverbend, Montana. Then because I'm me and I have my luck, my car broke down.The surly cowboy who picked me up didn't seem thrilled with the idea that I was showing up unannounced at Long Valley Ranch. But he didn't know I had no options left. It was either this or go back to the ex-boyfriend who hit me.I didn't know what to expect of life on the ranch. I know didn't expect to make friends. I didn't expect to feel like I had family.And Cody... well no one could have expected Cody.CodyShe lied to me. She told me she knew Jake and Ellie but when she showed up at their door I could tell she was a total stranger to them. Even if she was related to Jake by blood. Jake and Ellie being who they are took her in of course. Because of the bruise around her eye.Someone hit her. And while that didn't sit well with me, it didn't mean I was suddenly going to trust her.No, instead I was going to watch her. I watched Ruby a lot. Until I stopped watching her and started wanting her...
