“SIX THOUSAND ACRES,” I MUTTERED, STARING OUT THE WINDOW AT
the first slivers of sunlight painting the horizon. “Six thousand problems.”
I wasn’t one for hitting snooze, but something about today had me
doing it. By the time I’d kicked the old quilt off me—the one my gran had
sewn her first winter here in Whittier Falls—it was six o’clock, a half hour
past my usual wake-up time. Fuck.

I rose from the bed and ran my hand over my face, as if wiping off the
sleep, and walked closer to the window. An orange ribbon of sunlight shone
on the roof of the main stables and the grass on the front pasture was damn
near sparkling with dew. I never allowed myself time to notice stuff like
that and wondered what the fuck was wrong with me today. But the truth
was, I could use more moments of just . . . noticing. Appreciating. ‘Cause
God knew, I had enough moments of the hard shit.

The ranch had been in my blood since before I could walk, but owning
it? I never truly understood how hard my dad had worked until now. Not the
physical labor, though that was intense. But the mental load. I’d been
stressed about every damn inch of this land ever since I took over and I
didn’t see that changing any time soon. Mason would say I needed to ease

“You plan on moping at your window all day, or we got horses to tend
to?” Mason’s voice cut through the morning stillness, rousing me from my

We grew up together and this ranch was almost as much his as it was
my family’s. Mason’s dad was one of the finest wranglers Red Downs had
ever seen and Mason took after him. No one had ever seen riding like the
Bridges men did it. But Mason wanted more for himself, so he went to
school down in Bozeman to get his business degree. Which was why I
made him ranch manager as soon as I could. The man knew his numbers
and the crazy thing was, he liked it.

“Come on you lazy shit,” he hollered again, laughing at himself in the
process. Mason knew I was often up and working before anyone else, so
this was just him giving me hell. We both knew he wanted to go over some
of the accounts today, which was why I’d been dawdling. Not that I’d admit
it to him.

“Keep your shirt on, Mason,” I called back, already pulling on jeans that
had seen better days. “I’ll be there in five.”
“Make it two!” he shot back, and I could picture his wry smile, even
without seeing it.

Slipping into my boots, I stopped in the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee,
already brewed thanks to Mason’s trespassing, I’m sure. I shoved my hat
