Gripping suspense plot, character to fall in love with and a slow burn romance all click in this story. Just a wonderful book. I would love it if the three sisters would take Jack's portrait and make a bonfire with it. The man should have never procreated, but then there wouldn't have been Willa, Lily and Tess. They were truly better than the SOB deserved. Maybe it was a good thing he could have cared less about them while he was alive. It was truly sad that Willa strived all her life for a kind word and never got squat.

Jack Mercy is dead, break open the champagne! The SOB is trying to control his three estranged daughters by three different wives from beyond the grave by the terms of his will. A ranch worth twenty million is at stake. To cash in the sisters have to live together on the ranch for a year.

Tess, the oldest sister, is a Hollywood screen writer and all she wants is the money so she can return to Hollywood.

Lily, the middle sister, is on the run from an abusive ex-husband and is delighted to have a safe place to hid.

Willa is the youngest sister and Jack's loss has hit her the hardest. She was the only one to be raised on Mercy Ranch, which she loves with a fierce passion. That she has to share it with strangers is a bitter pill to swallow.

They have all decided to put their bitterness aside and live like a family in order to fulfill the terms of the will. It isn't easy for any of them and it just gets harder when animals and people turn up dead and mutilated on the ranch. But these three daughters of Jack Mercy are made of some really gritty stuff. They must have gotten that from their mothers.
