Third generation Texas Ranger Tyler Steele is the last of a dying breed--a modern day cowboy living in a world that doesnt quite understand his powerful sense of right and wrong and instinct to defend those who cant defend themselves Despite his strong moral compass Ty has trouble seeing his greatest weakness His hard outer shell the one essential to his work made him incapable of forging the emotional connection his wife Andie so desperately neededNow retired rasing their son Brodie on his own and at risk of losing his ranch Ty does not know how to rebuild from the rubble of his life The answer comes in the form of Samantha and her daughter Hope on the run from a seemingly inescapable situation They are in danger desperate and alone Though they are strangers Ty knows he can help-- protecting the innocent is what he does best As his relationship with Sam and Hope unfolds Ty realizes he must confront his true weaknesses if he wants to become the man he needs to be.
