Synopsis
Bucky, the eldest of the three Ray brothers, watched the easy way Colt and Hedli moved around each other, a quiet contentment settling over his younger brother that Bucky hadn't seen in years. He was genuinely happy for them, but a familiar ache stirred within him. After his last relationship ended, he'd resigned himself to being the perpetually single brother, convinced that love wasn't in the cards for him. He was stuck in a self-imposed limbo, torn between the faint hope of finding someone and the strong pull to just stay single forever. Meanwhile, Ali arrived in town, a fresh face with a determined glint in her eyes. She was looking for ranch work, specifically. The Triple R Ranch's "Help Wanted" sign in the feed store caught her attention, and a small smile touched her lips. Ali wasn't just proficient; she was meticulous. Every task she was given, from mending fences to doctoring livestock, she tackled with an almost fierce dedication, intent on conquering it and ensuring it was done perfectly the first time. The Triple R was exactly what she'd been looking for. What Ali didn't know yet was that the Triple R was home to more than just hard work. She didn't know about Bucky, the oldest brother, battling his own internal demons about love. Will Ali take the job, pouring all her energy into proving herself on the ranch, or will the magnetic pull of Bucky's quiet intensity shift her focus from work to winning his hesitant heart?
