Publisher Description
The land they love might tear them apart…
Josie Star knew one day she’d step into her father’s boots and take over the Lone Star Ranch, but she hadn’t expected it to happen so soon. When her father collapses, she trades her corporate desk for a dusty tractor to shoulder the legacy of generations of Jewish Texans. She’s ready to take her place in the Lone Star’s history – with a little help from Easton McKinney. The ranch foreman is her lifelong best friend – and a man for whom her feelings once ran much deeper.
The Lone Star gave Easton the stable home his upbringing lacked, but when Josie returns, the dirt beneath his boots crumbles. She broke his heart when she left – and now she’s his boss. He’ll help her find her feet, but he won’t abandon his dream of running his own ranch. Maybe her homecoming is the kickstart he needs to finally move on from the Lone Star – and from her.
When Josie uncovers troubling family secrets, she needs Easton more than ever. But can he stay knowing she’s forever out of reach?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Crowley (Home For Hanukkah) introduces her Stars of Texas series with a heartfelt friends-to-lovers romance. After Josie Star's father falls seriously ill, she leaves her corporate job in Minneapolis and returns home to Texas to run her family's Lone Star ranch, a role she always dreamed of one day assuming. Ranch foreman Easton McKinney, Josie's lifelong best friend, is equal parts "elated that she was home" and "dismayed at what that meant for his career." The Star family provided Easton stability during his chaotic childhood but with Josie taking over, he's starting to think about moving on. The more he considers what he wants out of his future, however, the more he realizes what he desires most is a happily ever after with Josie. As he gets her up to speed on running the ranch, they both wrestle with their evolving feelings. When Easton gets another job offer, they're forced to make a big decision about their relationship. It's refreshing to see a Jewish heroine in a cowboy romance and Crowley ably explores how Josie navigates her faith in rural Texas. Easton, too, is a lovable character whose internal conflict will especially resonate with anyone who's ever been torn between family duty and their own happiness. This series is off to a promising start.
