I
get to the Bar 9 and see Susanne McAllister disappear underwater.
My
first instinct is to dive in and save her.
Just
like I’ve saved her a hundred times until, ten years ago, one tragic night
shattered our ‘odd couple’ friendship beyond repair.
I
bet you wonder how I got here…
1.
My ranch is running out of water.
2.
Pops’ solution is to arrange a marriage between me and the eldest daughter of
our water-rich, sworn enemies.
You
guessed it.
Susanne
McAllister.
3.
Someone is coming after our families, raking up the troubled history of our
small town, and forcing me to realize she’s always been the love of my life.
Now,
I have to keep her safe by either letting her go when we meet the terms of our
arrangement or making her love me back.
With
so many things left unsaid, who knows what she’ll do?
