Secret Yearnings

The drama with Rex is nothing compared to the visitor that comes calling at the ranch, and unfortunately, this time, all that Dean holds dear is caught up in the crosshairs of a madman come to claim what he believes was denied him.

Dean is just trying to get back to the quiet routine before all the drama with Rex broke out.

With Gabriel learning the ropes, Rachel visiting a lot longer than was expected, and new drama all around them, he is worried that his quiet existence is gone for good. Though he steals time away with Lexi, a turn of conversation about children could drive them apart once again. He is on pins and needles, constantly waiting for the next shoe to drop, but when it does, he is in for the shock of his life.

Lexi loves the routine, even if a bit hectic, of being back at the ranch. She is growing a new clinic, helping take care of business, and spending her spare time getting to know Dean. Having her sister make a life-altering decision to move closer is just icing on the cake. Unfortunately, just as everything seems to be working out in her life, another nasty curveball is lobbied in her direction.

With her sister now caught in the middle, Rex, and two small lives they are tasked with protecting, can she help prevent the biggest disaster to date here on the ranch? Or will someone pay the ultimate price for the secrets the ranch tried to hide all these years?
