About this ebook
Coming Soon to Netflix starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly!
From New York Times bestselling author Jodi Thomas comes the first book in a compelling, emotionally resonant series set in a remote west Texas town—where family can be made by blood or by choice
Rancher Staten Kirkland, the last descendant of Ransom Canyon's founding father, is rugged and practical to the last. No one knows that when his troubling memories threaten to overwhelm him, he runs to lovely, reclusive Quinn O'Grady…or that she has her own secret that no one living knows.
Young Lucas Reyes has his eye on the prize—college, and the chance to become something more than a ranch hand's son. But one night, one wrong decision, will set his life on a course even he hadn't imagined.
Yancy Grey is running hard from his troubled past. He doesn't plan to stick around Ransom Canyon, just long enough to learn the town's weaknesses and how to use them for personal gain. Only Yancy, a common criminal since he was old enough to reach a car's pedals, isn't prepared for what he encounters.
In this dramatic new series, the lives, loves and ambitions of four families will converge, set against a landscape that can be as unforgiving as it is beautiful, where passion, property and pride are worth fighting—and even dying—for.

This may just be my favourite read of the summer. It was a fantastic start to Thomas’ latest series. She combines the best of small town life with the realities of everything that could be faced. Her vivid descriptions paint this town and its people in a way that allowed me into their lives. The intricate & intimate plot captured my imagination and my heart. I really enjoyed the intertwining stories with the main characters. Their lives were all so different yet crossed so many times. Thomas gave me a phenomenal perspective. I loved the dash of suspense that runs through the story, especially with Yancy. I loved trying to puzzle out what he would do and how things would turn out. Thomas has created a very well rounded cast. I love the different ages and demographics of the major characters. Not only was I intrigued by Yancy’s past and new perspective on life, but his approach to it left me smiling. Quinn and Staten’s relationship was so emotional for me, and at the same time, completely superficial in some ways. The dichotomy that Thomas created made it oh so very real. But most of all I fell in love with Lucas and Laura. I do hope to see this pair grow up in future novels. This was definitely the perfect start to the Ransom Canyon series. Thomas’ mellow yet inviting writing made this a story that I couldn’t put down. It definitely lead to one very sleepless night. I definitely can’t wait for more from this author & this series. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
