Every Acre Between Them: A Christian Cowboy Romance (The McCord Brothers)

Nine years she has run a ranch that will never be hers. Now a stranger in four-hundred-dollar boots has bought it out from under her.

Laney Rhodes has been foreman of the Cold Spring since she was twenty-five. Thirty-four thousand acres, a crew that would follow her anywhere, and a name on the deed that has never once been her own. She learned young what happens to a woman who lets herself want a thing she cannot keep. She has not made that mistake since.

Then old Dutch Prewitt dies in his sleep, and a rented SUV comes up her road at four in the morning.

Everett Bright buys failing things cheap and sells them whole. He has done it thirty times and never once lost. The Cold Spring is simply the next deal — a senior water right, a two-year hold, and a clean quiet exit back to Denver.

But Dutch left a will with teeth. Everett cannot fire her. Everett cannot cut a single acre for five years. And Laney cannot walk away from the only ground that has ever felt like home.

So they are stuck with each other — through a calving season, a water fight that could sink the whole outfit, a valley that watches everything, and a hard Wyoming winter that neither of them is prepared for.

He starts learning the land. She starts learning to hope.

And then a recorded deed surfaces with his name on it, and everything Laney has let herself believe about him comes apart in front of the entire county.

Can a man who has bought everything learn that some things can only be given? Can a woman who has owned nothing on purpose open her hands one more time — and trust that the God who let it all go is not finished with her yet?

Every Acre Between Them is a clean, Christ-centered cowboy romance and the perfect doorway into the McCord Brothers series. Slow burn, small town, and a warm happily-ever-after with no cliffhanger.
