River Strong (Original)

For two rival families, the only thing that matters more than land...is love.

There's a lifetime of tension between the McKenna and Stafford ranching families, and Oakley Stafford has the bullet scar to prove it. Defying the bitter rivalry between their families, Oakley grew up thick as thieves with Duffy McKenna. But now the Staffords and the McKennas are competing to buy a neighboring property. Both need that land desperately--and the reasons are more dangerous than Oakley knows.

But there's another unspoken rivalry, too, between Duffy and Pickett Hanson, the McKenna family's ranch hand. Once upon a time, Oakley ignored the way the two handsome cowboys playfully flirted with her, but now she's untangling complicated feelings that could upend years of friendship. And when a body is found on the contested ranch, their secrets will be forced into the open at last...
