DENVER The Hallow Ranch was left to me, the first-born son. Before I inherited the ranch, I left to serve my country. When I came back to embrace my destiny, I was tricked. One night of lies and betrayal led me here. Without a brother. With a son. The Hallow Ranch is my focus. I have to ensure my son's future, whatever it takes. That includes ignoring the beautiful woman trying to take what's mine. VALERIE I have a job to do. Did I enjoy this job? No, but it pays for my mom's chemo. She's all I have left. When I was assigned to propose the pipeline's offer to the Hallow Ranch, I expected some old rancher. I never saw Denver Langston coming - gorgeous, rude, and stubborn. The Hallow Ranch account would cover our bills for two years, but this rancher isn't letting me have it. Saddle up, cowboy, because I'm not giving up without a fight.
