Long Before the War Between the States, Parker sons and daughters ranched Parker land. Eighty-one-year-old Mae Parker aims to keep things that way.And as far as Mae-and almost everone else on the ranch-is concerned, her word is Law. Except to her great-nephew Rafe. And Rafe,35 yrs old, iron-willed and unmarried, is Mae's favorite.But he has no plans to buckle under to her by changing his marital status. That's why Mae invites Shannon Bradley to the ranch.Something about Shannon-the only person other than Rafe who has ever stood up to Mae- gets under his shin.Still, after years of watching his great aunt manipulate the rest of his family, he's damned if he'll fall in love on Mae's order!

As is the case with almost all romances, the characters are attracted to and fall in love with each other all to quickly. What sets this story apart from most others is the very real tragedy described in it. It has a very sad background story that is a focal point in the beginnings of the romance.

My favorite part of this book though is the family ranch dynamics described. I always love books with rough and handsome cowboys, but I like this one because it includes his family and their relationships that carry on through the rest of the West Texas series. Ginger Chambers did an excellent job with this series.
