On the spur of the moment, with his life collapsing around him, Jay Sullivan answers an ad for a business manager with an expertise in marketing, on a dude ranch in Montana. But under and through it all, as Riley learns over the months, this is a tale about family and everything that that word means.When a cowboy meets the guy from the city, he can't know how much things will change. This is a story of murder, deceit, the struggle for power, lust and love, the sprawling life of a rancher and the whirlwind existence of a playboy. Riley hadn't counted on the fact that Jack Campbell, quiet and unassuming rancher, is a force of nature in his own right.



Riley marries Jack and abruptly his entire world is turned inside out. There is no mention in his father's documents that the marriage had to be with a woman and Jack Campbell is the son of Riley Senior's arch rival. Blackmailing Jack Campbell into marrying him "for love" suits Riley's purpose. Concerned about Riley's lack of maturity, his father requires that Riley 'marry and stay married for one year to someone he loves'.Īngered by the requirement, Riley seeks a means of bypassing his father's stipulation. His father, CEO of HayesOil, passes control of the corporation to his two sons but a stipulation is attached to Riley's portion. Riley Hayes, the playboy of the Hayes family, is a young man who seems to have it all: money, a career he loves, and his pick of beautiful women.
