Some things are bigger than yourself, like family and legacy. Russell Walker knows all too well the demands of devotion. Heritage, the family's legacy and the largest family-owned ranch in the country, is his responsibility and he'll sacrifice anything for it. Including what might be his last and best chance for happiness. If that's what it takes, so be it. Until he passes the reins on to one of his children, he's the guardian of the Walker legacy and determined to see it expand and flourish under his care. The problem is, there's a storm on the way and one he can't stop. Someone wants to hurt his family and their legacy and he might just find himself in a fight he can't win. Then again, whoever's gunning for him has never challenged the might of Heritage, and Russell, along with family, may well prove to be more than their enemy bargained for.

Some things are stronger than metal and stone, like loyalty and love. Which makes the loss of either, a blow that strikes clear through to the heart. Loss has hit the Walker family hard, with the death of the family patriarch, and having the fiancé of his grand-daughter accused of murdering him. If that wasn't enough, someone is determined to hurt both Heritage and Kal Burton, so it seems their fates are linked in more than Kal's love for Cici Walker. There's a mystery to be solved and a lot of people determined to solve it, including the man who holds the reins of Heritage, Russell Walker. He'll do whatever it takes to keep his family and their legacy safe, but it's getting damned hard to know who he can trust. Right now, there's only one person. Naomie Taylor. The woman who stirs his blood and makes him wish he was twenty years younger.

There are choices to be made in life and often it means choosing between what you want and what you feel is the right thing to do. The Walker family understands that. So does the love of Russell Walker's life, Naomie Taylor. Maybe she understands it better than any of them. She'd do anything she can to help someone she loves, even if she disagrees with with them. Like Senator Walker's daughter, Amber. As far as Naomie is concerned, she owes Amber and she always repays a debt. The problem is, this one might get them in a mess no one can extricate them from. Amber has her sights set on an FBI agent, John Rushing. The problem is, John has a thing for someone else. A woman who is on the wrong side of the law, but who lights a fire in him like nothing he's ever experienced. The Senator's Daughter, an FBI agent, a criminal and a woman trying to repay a debt and not lose the man she loves in the bargin. What could possibly go wrong? Everything.
