MitchI'm the second oldest of five kids. We have a 50K-acre ranch in west Texas that was left to us after our parents were killed in a car accident. Life on our ranch was great until a few months ago when dead bodies started showing up all over our property. Then my younger brother Morgan, and my oldest brother's girlfriend, were kidnapped and beaten by a militia group. The ring leaders still haven't been found. We are cautious of everything these days. Things seem normal or at least as normal as they can be until she shows up. The one person from my past that I never wanted to see, ever again. No idea what she wants or why she's here. Then things start happening on the ranch, life just got complicated. AliciaI hate this town with a passion and never thought I would have to be back here for more than a short trip for holidays. When mom's neighbor called and said she fell and broke her hip, I knew I would have to be back for an indefinite amount of time. I can't stand the town, it smells like cows, the people are noisy as all get out, and my past is here. A past I wanted to forget. I need to see Mitch and at least explain to him what happened and hope that he'll at least forgive me. Then, I can get back to my life in Houston, the life I love.Why does she affect me the way she does? She broke my heart, then left. Now, she's back. Nothing good will come of this.

MorganI returned after my last tour as a Marine, and the ranch looks the same as it always has. I'd been home for almost a year when dead bodies started showing up on our ranch. My former commander and second lieutenant are responsible, but no one can seem to find them. I've been kidnapped and beaten but never broken. I was seen in the ER for my broken bones and bruises after the militia had their way with me. The attending physician was Dr. Samantha Knighten, and she has become a pain in my neck. She even showed up at my brother's wedding. SamanthaWhen the tall, dark, and handsome Morgan Stover was in my ER for a broken bone, some lacerations, and bruising, I wanted to slap him. He was egotistical, broody, and downright rude. I work one night a week in the local hospital ER, and as my luck would have it, the ahole came in on my shift. His sister-in-law is delightful, but that man is nothing but a rude, obnoxious, pig. He's the worst groomsman on earth. You can tell he's still drunk from last night.

JewelI'm the youngest of the Stover children and the only girl. Being raised by a bunch of guys has made me tough, and tenacious, and I don't put up with anyone's BS. I don't need protection, I could care less if I had a man around. The bodyguard assigned to me after my sisters-in-law were taken is a pain in the a$$. My brothers don't know about my uncle and the abuse I endured after our parents died, nor will they. I've sworn my BFF Emma not to say anything. After being taken again, my life is in turmoil, and in steps that F***ing bodyguard.JessI've had to protect some divas before, but this little hottie I have to watch over now is a nightmare. She's high-handed, thinks she does no wrong, and never ever allows a man to help her for any reason. She makes my blood boil. I want to bend her over my knee and give her a good spanking. A spoiled rich brat is what she is.When oil meets water, what happens? It separates, and it does not go together well.The sparks fly in this final book of the Stovers'. Life on this ranch is never boring.

BrockI know I'm a Stover and I can get all the ladies whenever I want. I'm a woman magnet, it's like the are drawn to me by some invisible force. My family owns the largest cattle ranch in west Texas. My name gets me all the women I want. Problem is, it seems to be failing on the woman that I actually want. The wranglers on the ranch call me the Stover whoreman. Maybe I am, but that doesn't change the fact that the one woman I want, I can't seem to have.EmmaAfter being held prisoner for a human trafficking ring, I needed a break. I was welcomed into the Stover family by Kristie. When I met Jewel, she took me under her wing and helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I went to Austin and was able to get some counseling through the University of Austin while I finished my degree. Now that we are back on the Stover Ranch, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I want to know what Brock's intentions are, he seems to want to be near me every time I turn around. What am I supposed to do? Give in or stand strong?

EmilyMy personal assistant should be off-limits, right? Wrong. Alexander is fifteen years younger than me, looks like a hot Superman, and makes my pulse race. Problem number one: While the age gap doesn't bother me it does him. Problem number two: My ex-boyfriend owns the company and is not fond of my new assistant. In the end, none of that is going to matter. I'm a woman who gets what she wants. Always. Alexander is what I want. I'm in my sexual prime and ready for someone who can keep up with me. Will Alexander be able to accommodate me?
