His inheritance brings him home...
But will love convince him to stay at Red Dog Ranch?
Returning home isn’t part of Rhett Jarrett’s plan—until he inherits the family ranch from his father. Running it won’t be easy with his ranch assistant and childhood friend, Macy Howell, challenging all his decisions. But a long-buried family secret might help Rhett begin to see things Macy’s way...and allow them to find love—and home—together at last.

“What do you want, Mace?” Rhett’s question was soft, guarded.
She skewed her lips to the side as if trying to find the right words. “I’m just wondering where the boy I knew went.”
Rhett crossed his arms. “He grew up.”
“That’s a pity,” Macy said. “He had this amazing ability to dream big, but plan well—something this place really needs. That boy could have shaped the ranch into something beyond what his father possibly ever could have.”
He clenched his teeth and reminded himself that Macy was just being Macy. She’d been known to kick a hornets’ nest before—literally.
He pressed his palms against the armrests. “You finished?”
“For now, sure. Forever?” she asked. “Not a chance.”
Rhett couldn’t hold in a chuckle. “I don’t doubt it one bit.”
This was the Macy he remembered, his Macy—someone who would stand against the wind and glare at a coming storm. Someone who didn’t flinch.
Well, not his Macy. He wasn’t quite sure where that thought had come from…
Have you ever been faced with a situation you weren’t sure you could handle?
Rhett didn’t feel equipped to lead Red Dog Ranch and definitely didn’t want to be compared to his father. At first he only saw his inheritance as a burden to escape from, but later on he was able to see it for the blessing it was in his life. I’m so glad he found a way to share his load so he could honor his father’s wishes while still pursuing his dream of training dogs.
I think my favorite conversation in the book is when Mrs. Jarrett asks Rhett if he believes there’s a cap on how much love God can shower on us. I really identified with Rhett in that moment. It’s so difficult not to question and wonder and feel inadequate.
But God delights in loving us. Don’t forget that.
Thank you for spending time with Rhett and Macy. I hope you enjoyed their story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Make sure to look up the rest of the Red Dog Ranch series—each one follows one of the Jarrett siblings.
Dream big,
Jess
