The Prodigal Is Coming Home
It’s been a long time since Colt Stafford shrugged off his cowboy legacy for shiny Manhattan loafers and a promising career on Wall Street. But when stock market manipulations leave him financially strapped, the oldest son of legendary rancher Sam Stafford decides to return to the sprawling Double S ranch in Gray’s Glen, Washington. He’s broke, but not broken, and it’s time to check in with his ailing father, and get his legs back under him by climbing into the saddle again.
He doesn’t expect to come home to a stranger pointing a loaded gun at his chest– a tough yet beautiful woman that Sam hired as the house manager. Colt senses there’s more to Angelina Morales than meets the eye and he’s determined to find out what she’s hiding…and why.
Colt’s return brings new challenges. Younger brother Nick has been Sam’s right-hand man at the ranch for years and isn’t thrilled at having Colt insert himself into Double S affairs. And the ranch’s contentious relationship with the citizens of Gray’s Glen asks all the Stafford men to examine their hearts about what it truly means to be a neighbor. And as Wall Street recovers, will Colt succumb to the call of the financial district’s wealth and power–or finally the courage to stay in the saddle for good?

Summary
Colt Stafford has a few surprises waiting on him when he returns home to the Double S Ranch in Glen, Washington after free¬falling into the vortex of disrepute on Wall Street, through no fault of his own. First of all, his once selfabsorbed father is in failing physical health, but thanks in part to the lovely house manager, Angelina Morales, the insufferable Sam Stafford seems to have turned over a new spiritual leaf. Speaking of Angelina Morales, she could make a man forget all about fortune hunting in the stock market with her dark eyes, passionate soul and brutally honest tongue, but Colt's instinct tells him that the woman is hiding a well kept secret. Why? As Colt and Angelina form a fragile friendship, will the truth have a way of coming out that helps or hinders the future of the Double S Ranch? Because neither Colt nor Angelina plan to stay. \"Back in the Saddle\" is a wonderful first installment in Ruth Logan Herne's new Double S Ranch series. Colt has two brothers, by the way, whose stories are just itching to be told.
