Of the Cahill Cowboys stories I've read so far, this one is the best of the bunch. Carol Finch is able to breathe life into her characters and make the reader care about them.

The Cahill siblings are just back from the funerals for their parents and things become tense when Quinn, the eldest, starts ordering the others around. Each of the brothers and sister take exception to Quinn's high handedness and decides to head to parts unknown. This leaves Quinn with the monumental task of growing the ranch -- without family help.

If that weren't enough, Quinn gets word that the piece of land that he wanted to buy was sold to a person from Boston. The reader can see just how overwhelmed Quinn is when he goes to his new neighbor and tells her (Adrianna McKnight) that she needs to go home and leave the ranching to people who understand the problems. As one might imagine, Adrianna is incensed by this rude neighbor and sets out to prove that more folks, besides the Cahills, have a grasp of ranching, thank you very much. While Quinn and Adrianna are squabbling, things turn ugly. It isn't long before these two decide to work together to figure out why things keep happening and who is behind the attacks on their ranches.
