When Layne MacDonald set out to find the woman who gave her up at birth, her journey led her to a sprawling Nebraska ranch. There she crossed paths with Creed Dawson, a part-owner of the ranch known for his brusque demeanor. As they worked together—roping, corralling, and riding—Layne began to sense the quiet anguish that had hardened Creed’s heart. In time, she realized that she was falling in love with the man who had once seemed impenetrable. Determined and courageous, Layne vows that she will be the one to reach the passionate man behind Creed’s stern facade.
