Darby

Thirty years ago, torn by shock and guilt over the death of her mother, Darby York fled the dude ranch where she'd grown up in Montana. In her new life in the bluegrass of Kentucky, she'd become a horse groom, an artist, married a wealthy Thoroughbred owner, raised twins, and been widowed. But now, with word her father is growing feeble, Darby has to finally face the truth: no matter how far you run, the past has a way of catching up. Her father hadn't been the only man Darby had left behind. Would the boyfriend she'd abandoned still be there?Hank Slade, wrangler at Ghost Mountain Ranch, has never stopped carrying the torch for Darby.
