Cowboy Rex got a job as a coal runner at the mines and with the money he saved up, he was able to buy himself his very first horse. From there, he explored the stretch of land between the Atlantic and Pacific. He was his own man, doing as he pleased, and never thinking anything of it. From time to time, he would receive letters from his old Gram. She liked to talk about the ranch and there was always a plea toward the bottom, begging him to return, for Pops was getting on in age and needed someone to take over the family business. Rex had paid these pleas little attention. He did not want to give up his freedom. The ranch would tie him down into one little plot of land and there'd never be any possibility of escape. And yet, here he was making the trek back to Texas...And he soon finds himself caught between the two women he loves most as he uncovers unforgotten truths that could change them all forever.
