There is no time to mourn, however, as Shea’s half-brother, Judd, has sinister plans to the sell the ranch for a quick profit. But Judd wants to control more than the land; he has a dark desire to possess Tracy as well, and will destroy everything his ancestors worked so hard to build in order to make his wicked fantasies a reality.
